Re: sherburne on underworld
One man's fanboy, is another man's fan. I'm not offended by the fanboy label but I do think a mention of the current remixes would have been a worthy inclusion. Afterall, they had some of the best minimal talent remix the last batch of tracks and they're quite good. Why not mention that as a sign post for the future? I think his ability to make a valid argument is significantly harmed by his brief dismissal of an entire album (STITI) and his failure to mention their very good remix series just out. He mentioned Riverrun, but not the remixes. I think it shows he's not current with his UW knowledge. That doesn't mean he can't comment, but it does detract from his conclusion. I think he has more knowledge about UW than the average fan and I think his critique was mostly accurate. He doesn't need a "fanboy" level of knowledge to add validity to his comments, but he should at least be familiar with their most recent work.

Btw, what is your stance here? So far you've refused to take a side.
