Oh I've got to add this one - it fits all of the criteria:

I see Mr Sylvian has now fully morphed into the sinister Count Olaf,at 51 its about time you stopped the preening & posing, you need to practice what you preach, & ditch the conceited plink plink fizz of your self indulgent doleful film score style music and move to the next stage, & write something with real meaning & point.(Orpheus was the last one)The only people who buy your albums now are the desperate old japan fans who are still obsessed with your visage ,the ones who wet themselves at your concerts when you deem it fit to throw them a bone by playing one of your old japan records.Whilst i admire you as an artist its about time you snapped out of these neverending inward looking angst & solitude horseshit .You can surround yourself with accomplished & regarded musicians but you are only kidding yourself if you think you are celebrated by your intellectual peers turning out this shite.I feel i have to say this to you as i believe if someone else had said this to you 20 years ago you could now be a modern poet.Theres still time though, just let your hair down,ditch the uber cool/cold & embrace the banal/frivolous for a change, try it you may just like it and more to the point so may we.
i dont want to incurr the wrath of David Sylvian fans as i am one myself since the 1970’s believe it or not, its just that for the last 15-20 listening to his offerings i feel like ive been enthusiastically panning for gold only to find out all i have prospected is fools gold with a very occasional nugget.<<<
As I wrote above, all the criteria...
Komodo directs his remarks to Sylvian personally, which never fails to make me absolutely gleeful.
Komodo was a fan of Japan back in the 70s who thinks that Secrets of the Beehive was the last worthy release...hence, Komodo comes armed with loads of preconceptions.
Komodo thinks he has it all figured out and can exactly pinpoint the type of listener who would like Sylvian's recent work.
Komodo believes that since is not enjoying Sylvian's modern direction, then it must be 'shite'.
Komodo seems extremely angry, if not even slightly unhinged.
Komodo is undoubtedly in dire need of 'trauma therapy'.
