A fair opinion. And you (Al) won't receive any backlash
because you've put in the effort to learn and understand, and have presented your opinion without being derogatory and dismissive; you respect it, and can understand the implications of it, even though you dislike it.
Cats like Maxx here, bust in and stomp all over the place with ignorant statements like "This is the dumbest thing I've heard (or didn't hear)" which is insulting to people who work in this area of music/art and who understand it. They obviously know nothing of the genre, and likely don't care to.
So, I
do get a rat up my ass, and unleash a little bitchyness. When that usually doesn't work, I then resort to simply ignoring the ignorant. Problem is, there's so damn many of them!!

BTW, Great post SSC.
