The words are audible, but the music is indeed too loud and therefore distracting.  Setting spoken word to music is a great art, and there's nothing wrong with pointing out how it could be improved (and the person\/folks at BenFrank put out nice audio so I would venture to guess  that person\/group wouldn't be so  thin skinned as yourself when people point out that a specific file isn't as good as it could be).\r\n\r\nChill out..
