Also, any type of music or band that has to rely on being intellectualised and contextualised constantly is probably ultimately better talked about than listened to.

It's probably just my own personal bitterness, but it's just that I can't stand it when people say someone like Haino is talentless--and I know a
lot of people who think that. It's one thing to not like an artist--that's fine--but I can't stand seeing a lifetime of hard work and genuine heart like that being shoved into the same corner as someone screwing around with an amp in the back room every once in a while. There's a difference, but a lot of people don't recognize it, so I think intellectualizing it somehow "avenges" them, and I've convinced people to at least appreciate Haino in that light. They don't need to like it, but it seems wrong for them to call it talentless.
