So you're saying the complexity of his argument suggests to you that he's presenting it as "objective" whereas if it were simpler it would qualify as "subjective"?

i think he was saying that it's "plain and simple" that the article isn't objective. that sentence as a response to the article is kinda like when i ask the lady at the asian grocery store how much the pears cost, and she says "yes! tasty."

Oh, okay. That makes more sense than my interpretation.

Good lord. Freakin' nevermind. This is a useless debate. It's a poor review that's erroniously structured as objective fact, when clearly the content is not. Okay?

i checked out the writer out of interest.seems he's a bit of a "minor" face on the techno scence and invented the term "mirco house".likes lots of djs and records i also like and that goes some way to make me understand where he's coming from.lots of my friends don't like underworld that much,they are generally the ones that are dj/producer ibiza/berlin/richie/villalobos clubheads,i like them and their scene but i also like gigs,live bands and dance music in a "bigger" sense.i think that underworld do split opinion in the dance world but thats good for me.

Amen to that!
For every fan there is a detractor.
For every criticism there is a defense.

Debating every word written and every response, every nuance of meaning, and ultimately projecting our own opinions on someone else's may be entertaining for a while, say a few pages, but it will never end the healthy split of opinion.

I think everyone is just bored and antsy for the release of the new material.
