Yeah, kinda like Phil Spector....he was always about the "sound" and
presentation and never stopped once to realize that he HAD some songs under
all that sludge. Sorry if this pisses of the Spectorphiles, but the guy did
nothing but ruin what amounted to be pretty straight-up pop songs with his
"wall of ego".
