this is the only thing that really irks me, this idea that anyone can have the last word because they, ultimately, can pull more knowledge out about the band than the harried critic. not that you're doing this, but i have this image of an UW fan skeptically reading Sherburne's complaints about STITI's awkwardly pieced together-ness or BF's lack of restraint, being instantly able to pull out two examples in which STITI flows
quite smoothly and three in which BF shows
distinct restraint, each example referenced down to the minute and second ... and for that reason instantly, systematically being able to discount every one of his negative statements about Underworld. the idea that anything bad can be quickly disproved by a true UW expert's infinite knowledge database.
it's just a subtext that i'm reading in a lot of posts.
