It's like eating healthy... cinnamon toast crunch vs shredded wheat. Shredded wheat is perfectly good... but is tough to digest to be frank. Sometimes shredded wheat isn't liked, much like challenging music, because it is too healthy, hard to eat sometimes, etc. Music, in my opinion, should at least be 50% aesthetically pleasing. If it is JUST challenging just to mess with you, I give the finger to that guy cause I think he's an asshat. I'm not listening to your mixolydian 13th chords with a time signature change every 30 seconds just so you can show off.

Agreed. I have no time to listen to musical exercises and elaborations of theories.

I sat through 20 minutes of the first part of Disintegration Loops the other day. It was quite beautiful actually, but I have a life and shit to do and my day can't allow another 40 minutes of essentially the same thing.

There are probably a few people on here studying or working in music in some capacity whose life's work is to come to an understanding with the very edges of experimental and avant-garde music. I'm envious to some degree because there's a lot of music fatally beyond my reach, but we can't be and do everything.

I love music, I listen to it as much as time allows, but it has to have some degree of entertainment value because the assimilation of music knowledge has no intrinsic value to me.

I listen because I find the experiences compelling and I think they offer a lot more than just a heartless, single-minded pursuit of boundary pushing. Acquisition of knowledge is not a concern at all.

also I find Disintegration Loops to be very boring as well, there's more interesting processes out there, like I Am Sitting In A Room

Ummagumma by Pink Floyd. It doesn't help that I'm not really into the strange, ambient stuff like Piper's Interstellar Overdrive. I honestly just listen to Grantchester Meadows and The Narrow Way Part 3 and skip the rest of the studio stuff.

The Powers That B by Death Grips comes to mind. That album is long, dense, and harsh. It's particularly weird (especially for a Death Grips album) with backing vocals by Bjork thrown in.

I think we have a winner. As someone who is currently working to be a schoolteacher, the whole concept of that just makes me feel sick to my stomach. Yeah, I'm never going to be able to listen to that.

Miles' Bitches Brew was really tough for me on the first 2-3 listens with how long and detailed it is. It's worth giving that album its due though, fucking timeless.
