People like to talk about what they like and also what they dislike, perhaps
even more the latter, going long ways to explain in minutiae why they don't
like it.  Gossip, anyone?

I like the Chemical Brothers, but I don't think this style of electronic music
should be judged by "melodic lines" like the dude did:  electronica allows for
far more vast musical landscapes than any acoustic music.

BTW, people who urge for music with "melodic lines" in "songs" also tend not
enjoy Bach and most harmony-first-melody-last classical music either.  And
these people are boring. :P
