Why? It's completely self-indulgent, wankering vendetta fodder. Obviously
this person cared way too much about album art at one time and is having
his Big Turnaround. Ah, to dream of a world populated by idm'ers who are
not in a constant state of backlash against something they once bought
hook, line and sinker. Oh well.
The point is: if album art is unimportant, why be upset about it? It's
entertainment; any piece of it which a person enjoys, is somehow good.
Che appears not to enjoy any of it; only to view it on different levels
of importance.
einexile, the lowest common denimonator i guess :)
