It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

often seems to get totally titillated by anything precocious or naughty. Any young composer assuming to know how to fully justify the use of a Mahler-size orchestra, or to employ a defamed whore as subject matter for a full-length opera -- in my opinion -- isn't aiming for genuine respect as a composer. It looks to me like he's just trying to make a buck, and will not prove to be of lasting value.

That's not to say that his music cannot, or should not, be enjoyed by people. But, man, if I had the artistic and technical skills to write music of that scale, I'd sure aim a little higher. So, the answer to your last question is "Yes, he is too far out there for the traditionalist" -- or anyone else that believes in serious art.
