And I do think that it should be an artists responsibility to make songs sound different. I don't want to go out and buy an album where all the songs sound exactly the same. Michael Angelo does this a lot. He uses the same arp shapes for most of his songs, especially the sweeping parts. There are also a few broken arps that he uses exclusively. I've heard plenty of Michael Angelo's material and he is a technical speed-freak, but that doesn't mean his songs don't sound the same.
You need to respect other people's opinions. In life many people are going to disagree with what you think. Show some maturity and respect other people's opinions.
Sometimes I hit notes only dogs can hear.
