Well,WPaladin,how much one likes or dislikes an album of any artist is simply a question aof personal taste.
It's not just simply a matter of opinion because everyone's inner personality is different,so different people will feel opposite of how others do. In other words,"different strokes for different folks!" :D
Don't take Mr. Crispell's review so seriously,it's just what the man does for a living and is only "his" opinion.
