I find Ischemic Folks QUITE listenable. I'm not alone in this (go back
to the IDM archives if you don't believe me). You can say you don't like
it, you can say it sounds unmelodic/mechanical/noisy/whatever to you.
Describe it any way that seems suitable, but calling it a "bad release"
or "garbage" crosses the line into telling other people what they should
think of it. Perhaps that's a line many critics are willing to cross,
but this isn't a mailing list for professional critics to ply their
trade (and amateurs risk looking silly, which isn't to say many
"Professionals" don't).
