How about this... instead of chucking around blanket statements, name a
track or two that you think feature particularly sloppy programming. Then
I and others can try to listen from your perspective and see for ourselves
what merit your position might have (instead of the responses so far,
which have simply reacted from the position that the album blew many of us
away when we first heard it, so technical criticisms must be nonsense--not
exactly a good way to argue, folks).
Were you talking about "Logon Rock Witch," by any chance? If so, I can see
your point there... but that track is clearly meant to be funny, and you
have to admit, it's the only track on RDJ that sounds like that! Other
tracks are musically engaging and technically irreproachable--"4," "to
cure a weakling child," and "inkey$" stand out for me (off the top of my
head). J
PS Oh yeah, and "peek" whatever the hell that number is... and "yellow
calx" too... and "girl/boy"...
