Would you call Nick Cave pop music? Elvis Costello? Edith Piaf? Sex Pistols? Ella Fitzgerald? Just because music is "popular" doesn't mean it is "pop" genre. Some of her songs are pop, yes. But you would have to be lying to call Shuukyou pop.

And I find it ridiculous how you can't admit Meisai is musically complex, just because Suberidai is possibly just as complex (which I disagree about)
I guess I can understand not thinking KZK is her best album. After all, your criticisms of emotional detachment and overbearing arrangements are perfectly valid. But it is still a pretty significant departure from her previous works.
Yes, there are some songs that are so fundamentally bad that an inspired arrangement can't fix them. But that doesn't mean ALL arrangements are simply "clothes" put on the song.

I really hope you aren't calling me a hypocrite.
