Well, strictly speaking, that is correct. But the OSR is a great example of how the whole can sometimes be greater than the sum of the parts. Their characteristic dry, astringent sound worked well in certain music.

OTOH, I understand the criticism below of their Beethoven 9th. You want heroic, muscular ale pouring forth from a mighty German pewter stein, not warm tea from a delicate Swiss bone china cup.
