Didn't mean to come off so dismissive but re-reading what I wrote it def *does* come off that way so my bad.

You did add the qualifiers so we're on the same page for the most part. I guess my gripe would just be that putting them on that pedestal right off the bat results in unfair expectations for THIS group, even if most people would naturally come to the conclusion that there are clear similarities on their own, as you rightfully said.

I mean I definitely see it and hear it. So again we're on the same page there. I guess it's just my natural inclination to get fired up anytime anyone tries to compare another group to OutKast lol.
