    I didn't say not to buy it or 'set it on fire' or not to be listened to, I
    basically said that it was pop, nothing more nothing less. Do not expect
    some bossa or samba, it's not there. Two choros at the end in the vein of
    Caetano Veloso and that's about it. If you listen to it and you like it,
    fair game. If you listen to it and you don't, fair game too. Opinions,
    ultimately fair game. But in no way did I say "don't buy it because it's
    Top 40 (that's a lil unjust opinion right).

    Listen with prejudice though? C'mon man, that's what I didn't do. I'm not
    about to say that this music is great and lie, it's not. I got it from
    Universal about eight months ago on CDr and the acutal first single "Party's
    Just Begun" on vinyl and my opinion is still the same. I am not just saying
    this after hearing a snippet on the Internet.

    Although it might look stupid that I am responding to a sarcastic remark, I
    do also realise that you would have say nothing if you weren't bothered by
    it.
