i would agree with this.
listen to it outside of a 'dubstep' context, it makes more sense musically.
i.e as an artist, not a 'dubstep' artist.

hmm you're confusing "i don't like this music" with "this music is badly made"
they go more places than 90% of dubstep man

If he made a proper song that sounded like a song instead of it sounded like he's pissing about then maybe I would.

Sometimes, to me, his music comes off as a bit pretentious, although saying that i would consider myself a fan of his music

I really love some of his tunes, but I really don't like some others.
I hate the Trim tune.

Borgore and Dr P aren't doing anything different, James Blake has provided a whole new sound to dubstep
