Yeah.. nothing is really good or bad.. But the cheesy manner in which any
band practices on ambiguity is definitely (although not objectively) a
bad thing.. I never want to claim a hierarchy for art.. However, in my
opinion, there is no room for crap in the small time one has to devour
the good shit, you know what I mean?
