I took into account who I was responding to. Personally, for me to say something is musically horrendous, it would have to technically be poor music. Even music I don't like and isn't up to my taste, I can separate its quality and my opinion of it. That's how I look at it. Horrendous musically to me means that something is out of key or that the wrong notes are being played, which would not be the case with this album.
