It's funny how we hear it so different. To me it does sound robotic, but I think it'sbecause we all interpret groove differently and what moves one doesn't move another. I also think their sounds leave a lot to be desired and have been copied to death. And yes they do have a lot of plaques because their songs are selling the most right now. But if you think about all the artists they are working with, the sales are nowhere near up to par with what those artists used to sell. Sure Slave 4 U was a big hit, but nowhere near the sales of the stuff Britney did with Max Martin. Sure th Justin stuff was a big hit, but again, nowhere near the sales that Nsync did with Max Martin. Sure Holla back girl was a big hit, but nowhere near the hit level as the hits she had with No doubt. Sure Snoops drop it like its hot was a big hit, but nowhere near the sales of his older stuff. They're the biggest thing, in a shrinking pool of talent.
I think if one likes the timing, then that's all that matters, so long as it's understood that not everyone does. I remember when Duran Duran came out and my complaint was that they sounded too out of tune, while my best friend felt they were too intune (we both liked them though). Obviously you have a good ear, we both do.
