There is the danger of that of course and I come across music like that occasionally, usually with some certain electronic music. You have to be careful though not to completely alienate the listener, I think this album strikes a good balance. But then again there is nothing wrong really with a lack of human warmth, it can add to a feeling of detachment from reality and even euphoria. It all depends on the listener's perspective.
By the way what will happen if this current poll ends in a tie?
