Well, not if it's crap. If it's crap, I suppose you could learn about what makes a good piece of music rather than a poor one, but if it's totally ill-devised, the only thing you can learn is that very fact. Not saying Time Machine is bad; it's a great first score thematically. Very nice to listen to, but not a great composition. It's a good start for Badelt.

And the complaint that "I'd like to see you do better" is a bit silly and pointless, since most of us are not composers. Same goes for anything; you compare it to others in its field, not what you personally could accomplish.
