I didn't say I didn't like Tides. It seems that you
are the one who is getting rather defensive. Not to
mention unnecessarily rude. If you don't like BoC,
more power to you. That wasn't my point.

Someone else brought this up recently (I think in that
Plaid review that mentioned the balcony), and I'll
second it - there's too much emphasis on always having
something new and different, and it's sometimes just
as difficult to create a great sound and keep at it
while keeping it fresh. Personally, I think BoC have
done this, though I don't worship them or anyone else
as you seem to think I do.
It's again a matter of taste, and my real point was
not to judge the artists mentioned, just to suggest
that there were significant differences between them
such that to complain that one gets more unwarranted
attention than the other is kind of unwarranted in and
of itself. Come to think of it, I should have just
said that in the first place.

I'll refrain from insulting you or Arovane, who I
respect despite not enjoying Atol Scrap.
