The behavior comparison is irrelevant unless you're comparing the records, because you could have said that it was like people being disappointed about the new Radiohead album, or any such situation where there was disappointment for a release that a lot of people were apprehensive about. You chose three brilliant, initially misunderstood releases by RDJ though, which, whether you intended it to or not, is saying that this is on the same level.
I don't blame Monolith by any means, because he is talented in his own way, and he doesn't deserve this. It's Rephlex's fault that it's been received this way, and Rephlex's alone. They set it up as a big release, put it out near the end of the year in an extremely sparse year, and it just wasn't good enough to stand up to the pressure.
Let's talk again in a couple of years and then decide how relevant your current 'insights' are.
And what makes you think that Rephlex set it up as a big release? Have I missed some billboards? Commercials? They must be marketing wizards having no cash to spend on marketing, but having people to believe their releases are big anyways. Brilliant work. Perhaps they're being run by the holy Steve Jobs. In stores soon: the new iRephlex. I have no idea what it does other than giving you some sense of being ridiculed.
You really are taking this thread personally aren't you.
