Well, if mr. blackened gave me a call to mix his record, I'd turn him down if the myspace stuff is any indication...
To engineer professionally one has to do work to a certain standard, there's just too much competition to do otherwise- the thing is that there are many people who hang up their shingle to engineer for whom engineering is not their main gig, and nor could it be, which isn't to say that they are guaranteed to do bad work, but, you know.
If you don't take the time to research who to work with and to listen to their previous work, I'd say that you deserve what you get. I'm not gonna say that all engineers are good, nor are all auto mechanics, nor are all musicians. The failed musician comment is pretty funny, since a lot of engineers I know are better musicians than many of their clients- not hard to figure out why that might be.
