      Something that I really respect about Tim is that he's very honest about how he composes his material, and how much digital tools aid in the process.
      Part of it is due to increasing music's overall knowledge base being a net-positive, but also because for what he's doing, knowing how to compose it means very little if you can't play it. It'll sound cool when synthesized, but it becomes incredibly special when played.

      "Objectively good" is a myth and means nothing. All that matters is that you explain your argument and reasoning with the text. There's no objective measure of good, and all criteria you could set is arbitrary. Whats considered "objectively bad because its not even in tune" means nothing in cultures with different tunings and temperament systems.

      To be fair it kind of is hot garbage, but it is composed in the background by a hand full of people who REALLY understand music. The end result is trash most of the time but not because of bad composition, just because of over saturation and appealing to the least common denominator's pocket book.
