What was I supposed to do, "take you on" regarding your opinion?
Really, how was I supposed to react to your assessment of this album?
Paul is:
1. Someone I regard as absolutely seminal in my concept of what constitutes "good" music in both a stylistic sense and in the sense of commitment to a visceral type of music that can have both insane skill and soul to burn, as well as someone who I have been following in one form or another for 22 years

2. One of my best friends in the world

3. One of the finest living acoustic instrumental improvisors currently operating in the underground (and possibly on the planet in general), appealing to both hardcore weirdo music enthusiasts and the completely uninitiated alike, and if this album "leaves you wanting more," I have no choice but to wonder what that "more" is exactly.

Reasonable people can disagree on matters of taste, and on this one we disagree.
Whatever.

I don't really see what was so bitchy about that.
