Its more of the artistic and compositional aspects I was mainly referring to, so I should have explained my position a little more in detail.
I guess that I am old school my brother, my generation consisted of bands like Triumph, Rush, Yes, etc.
So maybe you can see why I may verse an opinion that requires higher standards musically.
But at the same time I also like the approach toward the simplicity aspects of musical composition.
Maybe I dont see something that you do and you are correct, so the conclusion remains only a personal opinion on my part.
