I'm 100% with the flash thing. It's rather rediculous how often it is used for websites. Although I must say it definetely has its uses (surprisingly .swf files are often very small if they are just using SVG's). One of the most irritating things about flash is it is impossible to know where you're being redirected (short of decompiling the .swf file which is kind of a pain) etc. Perhaps good from a webmaster perspective (eliminates deep-linking into a site) but it sucks from a user perspective (can't bookmark things within a .swf file).

agree 100% too! you can't even scroll the menu properly with the scroll thingy in mouses. that sucks! and it doesn't even have a shop! every artist homepage should have a shop IMO with all/most their releases! the contents of that website are kind of bleh too. it's pretty useless site IMO like most other sites on the web. sad but true!
