No. But I am starting to appreciat modern music more so, I initially dismissed it as trash a number of years back. How naive.

Don't let it happen. Take a break for awhile perhaps but I made that mistake 20 years ago. Now there is too much to catch up on, I feel overwhelmed sometimes and wished I never stopped discovering new music.

I was focusing in on the fact you made a judgement from listening to 3/4 of an album. Don'y fret, we've all done it. I just hope you learn from it buddy, because what an album!

I never said that. I always give them 2-3 listens.

Not hating allows me to give certain albums second/third chances.

Try not to be so hasty.

"There have been no good new bands/music since 1991."

That was my attitude until about 2011. So basically I spent 20 years only listening to music released prior to 1991 or bands that existed before 1991 that were still making new music. I've been playing catch up the past few years.

If you look at my profile, I have probably one of the more higher avg. rating that I assign to albums. Truth is, I find that hating albums is a waste of time, I rarely give ratings lower than 75 because it just makes me feel snooty/pretentious and depressed. Not hating allows me to give certain albums second/third chances.
If I don't find an album interesting, I just move on, and that works very well for me.

Yeah, right, what an idiot. But I said that because of Antonio's comment on "The Clash" on his chart.

Years ago (4-5) I thought Brian Eno was only an overrated snob. Now he's one of my favourites artists.

"All rap is awful except Kanye West, Drake, and Eminem" (Like 3 years ago)

"What is this electronic crap!" (About 3-4 years ago)

"Rock is the best genre, there's no denying that" (3-4 years ago)

"Lil Wayne is the worst artist in hip-hop" (2 years ago)

Many many many many more

This was a triumph.

Can't say I regret saying bad things about Jane Doe and Feedbacker, though I take back what I said.

"Bad things you have said about music.".... Hmm...

Well, for the most part and for many years I didn't talk to music... Only when I realized that music is therapy from heaven and that in its absence various psychosomatic illnesses can develop, I started conversing... 🤣

Here are my rules when it comes to "bad" music....

1) Rule #1: There is no such genre ("bad" music)
2) Rule #2: If you think the music is "bad", see Rule # 1
