Maybe *that*'s why I was so blatantly inconsistent? It was a totally rediculous review. I was trying to say, gee anyone can listen to one small piece of an artist's output for three minutes and make stupid comments about it being derivative or "nothing special" or boring or whatever. I guess people just don't appreciate satire anymore. Maybe I was being too subtle, but I thought it was quite "blatant". I'll try to be less subtle next time, but I don't know if it will work -- a whole bunch of people thought my article entitled "Volume" several months back was serious, and I can't imagine being any less subtle than that.
