You seem to have set up a straw man, kind sir.  I went through the past
posts and no one here has claimed "minimal percussion & voice".  It is
undeniable that the textures of _Debut_ are slanted towards voice nad
percussion, away from guitars and drumming or even the baby cries and
synths you so appear to enjoy.  Good for you...

It they weren't, the album would not be so controversial and unexpected.
