So you would prefer that instead of saying we think is music is utter crap,
we would dissect WHY we don't like it? Actually it might be easier to start
out with what I like about his tracks....ah..nothing.

You are an big analogy kind of guy, I see. Picasso, Hemingway, Alzheimer's,
I won't don't you also throw in the kitchen sink in your descriptions. I
don't think they help your statements much.

Why don't you tell us something we don't already know. What no analogies
here? How about comparing Albert Camus and Stravinsky to some bs analogy?

Yeah, I said I thought it was odd his name pops up pretty often when his
tracks suck. Especially, when there is a lot of quality music that barely
gets touched up on.
Things do get hyped. The argument it's only hype if you don't like it, is
bullshit. There are many things I have liked that I have felt to be
exaggerated as being a bombshell of a release when it's just alright.

Sure everyone can interpret things a little differently. Obviously, those
people that are more familiar with making music might look at things
differently from some raver that doesn't know shit. Or someone collecting
music for many years might have different views than someone relatively new
to a particular style.
Olive Garden might be a good restaurant to some that have never had REAL
italian food. To some the chicken parmesan might have deep pools of
wondrous love, to others it might taste like piss poor of an excuse for
Italian food.
I know Olive Garden is as "artsy" of an analogy as yours, but it's more
fitting IMHO. Kid 606 is OG as in Olive Garden quality, sure some of you
might like it, that's fine.

Sorry, I didn't want to spend that much time taking Kid 606 apart, he didn't
seem like he was worth the time.

I apologize to my fans on the list for not being more hardcore and fucking
people up. It has nothing to do with the subject, I'm just not in the mood
today. But I will be back :)
