Probably number two if I were to be brutally honest!!

Jee whiz, you could knock me down with a feather there.

But hey, enjoy that concert dudes.
I'm sure people said similar things about Dvorak...
Well I suppose it would be more honest to say that the (very) odd (courageous) critic saw him as deliberatly creating a small pond in which to look like a big fish or not really making making the most of his talents
eg
Moreover, even in the workmanship, there was exhibited a want of self- criticism which is incomprehensible. The performance of the three pieces one after the other emphasized certain mannerisms which bore evidence only too plainly in favor of the proposition suggested at the outset of this discussion, that the prosperity which the composer achieved in England has not been beneficial to his art. He has acquired a fatal ability in composition, and, like Rubinstein, seems unable sometimes to stay his hand when he has only platitudes to utter.

Its a big musical ocean but , of course, one can remain in one's favourite ponds...puddles...
I often think in music fortune sometimes favours the bold though...
..the vegetating schools, conservatories and academies act as snares for youth and art alike. In these hot-beds of impotence, masters and professors, illustrious deficients, perpetuate traditionalism and combat any effort to widen the musical field.
The result is prudent repression and restriction of any free and daring tendency; constant mortification of impetuous intelligence; unconditioned propping-up of imitative and incestuous mediocrity; prostitution of the great glories of the music of the past, used as insidious arms of offense against budding talent; limitation of study to a useless form of acrobatics floundering in the perpetual last throes of a behindhand culture that is already dead.

What you say about that group, "...an industrial android mash of dungeons and dragons style evil rap core," sounds like an overwhelming assault on my sensitive ears, and my physical comfort too. So I'll do what I say in the title.
classical groupie: Wow, that takes the breath away. It seems mighty eclectic to me, but what does it do to the ears?
Come along and find out !!!
- Jenny and the Deadites will do one thing for sure and that is blow them off with an industrial android mash of dungeons and dragons style evil rap core.
