I am not in any way criticizing them for this either; they are very clever about it and they are great musicians, but clever amalgamators they are.

ever heard of "satire"? who did ween rip off on "pure guava", the album Beck ripped off? and no, using different styles of music(country, hip-hop, etc.) is not "ripping off". Now "Mellow Gold", that's a rip off of "pure guava"

next.
