Danse Macabre, listening to it separately and then declaring that it sucks based on the fact that it's simplistic. The beats are necessarily simplistic in most rap because that's not where the focus is; rap is all about the lyrics (and, by extension, lyricists).
Apart from that, I guess it just comes down to a matter of taste. I've always thought it a bit immature, though, to declare that 'music genre X sucks!' simply because you don't like it.
Just my opinion.
*I don't actually know if there is a third viola in Danse Macabre, having never seen a score for it. So if not, pick another piece or instrument; the analogy works for pretty much any orchestral arrangement.
