742134, I think everything deserves a release

Any artist who can complete a vision deserves a shot to share that vision.

Especially if said artist has built a cache like Wan's.

Whether or not I/you/they/them like it is inconsequential.

Dollars to donuts, this garners a fiercely loyal cult following because, bare minimum, it gave us soemthing different in the marketplace. Some folks will dig it.

Hell, Frank loved it. Frank also loves Jupiter Ascending, a stemaing pile of excrement if ever there was one. And while I may enjoy needling him over his love for that generational disaster, I like to see any art find a home in the hearts of even a small niche of people.

Part of why I've never really went all in in music or writing is that fear that, after all that work and effort, it's going to suck, and people will say so.

So even if I don't like the product, I respect any artist who puts themselves out there for consumption. One person's dumpster fire is another's giant space heater.
