It's obvious he's not calling anyone a fool for not liking electronic music. And I realize he's not trying to push it either. My statement was general as well regarding the issue. I actually had a GameSpot review in mind, and perhaps I poorly used this post as a vehicle for my rant, but my personal preference still stands that reviewers should generally abstain from commenting on the choice of popular music in video games. You seem like an intelligent guy and rather than insulting me, you could have criticized my rant.

Like you said yourself, it's a figure of speech; moreover, McWhertor's particular use of the phrase is making a broad general statement about the game's presentation--i.e., he's praising the quality of the game, and not calling anyone a "fool" because they might not necessarily like electronic music. Could the average reader infer that McWhertor likes various types of electronic music, and therefore enjoys the soundtrack? Yes, probably. But it takes a whole different breed to imply that he's trying to push his opinion on you.

All that said: fuck you, McWhertor. Now I've got a headache the size of goddamn Texas. The game is great fun--until your eyes start bleeding. Urk.

You owe me some internet aspirin :)

Nothing irks me more in a game post/review than someone's thoughts on the music, especially if it's a popular genre. If it's ambient or orchestral, I don't mind it, but I hate being pushed a type of music rather than trying to enjoy it for myself. There are some exceptions, of course, but they are few and far in between.

Also, I'm thinking if those seizure warnings that are in all game booklets have any truth to them, this is the game to prove it!

It would be better if you didnt have to play for what seemed like 10 minutes to get to better gameplay. But, the scary part, yeah felt like the entire time I was hearing the ambient noise of some horror film.

Mr. Driller coming to save the day is something that should be in every tetris game though. Oh and the music was pretty terrible. It was kind of cool picking out the original tetris music from the really abstract techno stuff, but it wasn't enough.

It's an interesting and fun concept, but goddamn it sure hurts my eyes. Unfortunately the "focus in and out" shader causes your pupils to continually refocus to the point that you'll suffer pain from straining so much. Beware!

And I normally never feel sick playing games. Ugh. Still though, kudos to the interesting mashup of gaming.
