Oh come on. I don't know what school of music making you're trying to
apply to the musicians you speak of, but isn't it possible they don't
subscribe to your rules? And what does that mean to your argument, that
they *should*? The $15 (+/-, natch) these CDs cost doesn't include veto
power over their production techniques. If there's an insult to be had,
it's in the myriad of musicians trying to get their piece of a stylistic
cash cow, not those who are putting the wrong sounds in the wrong places.
Maybe the insult you perceive is that they know why those sounds are
there, and you can't figure it out. It's not personal, they don't know
you.
