looks like someone is a bit passive aggressive here, and doesn't seem to realize that what I listen to isn't "unknown" and not for the pleasure of branding a certain image "of look how cool I am." It's a simple matter, really. You're going to get criticize on a music based website. Learn how to handle it and you should mature up and stop with the dishing of unnecessary 5's. Because nobody deserves a 5/100. I gave you an honest rating, tho I do admit I did engage in a bit of folly towards you my first comment around. If you'd like, I wouldn't mind pointing you in what (I believe) in the right direction for some musical recommendations. If you get outside of your comfort zone just a little bit, you'll lose your bitterness towards the "obscure" crowd on BEA.
