I think that it's far more interesting if you say something insightful, as the posters above have, rather than dismissing a composer with a few short sentences...
You want constructive criticism? You got it.

His music goes nowhere. There's no emotional content, no motivic development, lack of melody, poor harmonic language, his music doesn't center on anything profound, it just kind of lingers up in the air and has no kind of backbone. His artistic principles, whatever they may be, seem like a delusion of a composer that can't coupe with the fact that he doesn't have anything interesting to say musically. He couldn't write a melody to save his life.

Is that good enough or should I keep going?
