YES.

Maybe because I'm kinduva guitar-centric person... the lack of rhythm guitar irks me.

I don't mind the drum machine (though the way it's programmed is uninspiring to me) but I just need to hear some more musical colors in there... some strong rhythm guitar, some thick piano (not "keys"... piano) etc.

I just don't like the "keyboardiness"... It sounds "lazy" to me.
