The main thing here is, I've followed Meat's career over the years, I see the years of dedication, and I see the criticism (not just by fans, but by media). I can only speak for myself but because of my emotional connections, I cannot criticize Meat. It would be easier to pick a demo by someone else (but don't tell me Meat recorded it), and have me listen objectively to the demo. I would have to do it blindly because my mind is already going to put a positive spin to it if I know Meat did it. So I'd be listing to the +.

This is very much where I sit
And frankly I wouldn't join the fansites of those artists I feel less attachment to.
I don't offer "constructive criticism" to Meat because, like you, I don't feel I have the expertise or credibity to do this. All I can do is tell him what has captivated me, what I have liked, what has made it special.
And there's something else that I guess is part and parcel of that emotional attachment as far as I'm concerned. Some people will always reach to the stars .. and some of those have it in their power to create magic for others and lift them to the stars as well. Meat has that as far as I'm concerned.
For me Meat always creates magic in the studio or on stage, every time. Magic's so very special, and to try and analyse it and pick it apart is for me as futile as trying to capture moonlight in a bottle. I simply embrace it without question or critique and it always fills me with wonder.
