Of course not.
With these projects tho, it's more about a departure
from previous projects than not liking a certain sound.
He was accepted... as a guy who has drums in his music lol.
All of his previous projects had great drums. You
could *bump* them. People fell in love with that and
wanted more of it.
Sure sure, everyone has the right to change course
and be creative, blah blah blah... but such a sharp
departure from a previous sound won't always be well-
received.
That's what people are dealing with here.
