I'd also hate to think she made any concessions to her audience. She's the genius, not us. We should have nothing to do with what she chooses to release. Our opinions are irrelevant.

I'm not being sarcastic! I know it sounds kind of like I am, but I sincerely mean that. Art shouldn't be for anyone; it should justify its existence on its own merits. And Joanna's certainly does.

My opinion isn't relevant? I hadn't noticed.

To what she chooses to release to us? Yes. Ours isn't to demand or expect. We're the audience, not the commissioners.

Demand nothing.
Expect nothing.
Get what you demand and expect.

Anyway, the idea that Joanna released too much material in this album is almost incomprehensible to me. How is that even possible?

If she chose to release nothing, how would we have any right to demand or expect more than that? We enjoy her work; we're not entitled to it. Nor are we entitled to a say in its production.

I felt sorry for this HOOM branch of the forum, the only one that hasn't has a posting this month. So I thought I would thank Jordan~ for updating the subtitle to "not-so-new".
