You guys are late. I already engaged the dubious Mr.Ott.
My biggest beef with Ott isn't that he has negative things to say about Cop
Shoot Cop, but rather that he doesn't seem especially well-versed (not just
in C$C, but in every case). Even a passive glance through his blurbs reveals
an incredibly lazy, not-entirely-informed hack perspective. As far as I'm
concerned, one's credibility as a music journalist/"rock critic" is measured
by one's grasp on the material and the ability to
convey/contextualize/communicate in regards to that material. Ott, in this
instance, has failed to do so, thus what he has to say is moot.
For those that care, I brought this debate to the ILM boards, and Ott
himself has weighed in. Enjoy the battle of bluster here:
