Naturally I do.

I try not to label music too much. It serves a purpose, but can also be restrictive.

I've never been clear on what defines 'safe' music. Derivative I get, but I see that label applied to music that is not so, and I get confused.

Continuum is a great album, but I would argue there's still a huge streak of pop running right through it. There's a lot more blues carrying through it than on previous efforts, and even a little bit of soul, to my ear.

Fucked if I know what genre it is. The real question to ask is whether or not I care (Hint: The answer is not yes).
