See, that's the thing: those beats could have been good WITHOUT
NSync. Yet the producer couldn't make it on his own, for whatever
reasons, and decided instead to sell out to the popculture machine.
I just saw the video an hour or two ago. Lots of VST trickery
nonsense going on; whatever. It's still a horrid pop song, and all the
IDMishness in the world is not going to make me like a wretched, contrived
boy band -- I don't care if Richard Damn James his self does a remix,
it's crap culture for crap people. A good song is a good song whether
it's done on a synth or a psaltery - and this is not a good song.
As Henry Fool said: There's no accounting for taste. And as my friend
Kathy said: there is no 'talent' knob.
