I often struggle with finding common threads in music I like/dislike, so I'd love to hear any insight you might have! BlueCrystalTear posted... It's your taste. I mean, if it wasn't clear, I fully understand why you have some of these so low. Not everything is everyone's flavor, and that's how it's always been and always will be. You are allowed to have your opinion; if you don't get it, you don't get it. Yeah, that's something I've really had to come to terms with during this project (as I outlined in my Vespertine writeup): the idea that it's okay to not like something that's "supposed to be good." It's probably rooted in some deep-seated insecurity I've only now become aware of, haha. PIayer_0 posted... Salute to Bjork. I'd recommend not reading too much into ratings and acclaim right before listening to an album (or during) I tried to generally avoid it for this but I couldn't for Vespertine due to me looking it up beforehand. Though I did look up several albums as I was listening to them, I tried to not be too influenced by their reception - it was mostly to get context (as with Hawaii Part 2) or research into artist history or band lineup. _Blur_ posted... Do you think some of these albums could grow on you with repeat listens? Yes, absolutely. You're right that it's an inherent limitation of the project. If I had infinite time, I'd certainly want to do some relistens. Of the drops so far, I think ELO's Time probably benefits the most from a relisten. But yeah, it's a shame I can't do that for all/most of them. <cite>rwlh posted [p:976189233] in I rank 57 ...
