Perhaps if you download this, you'll learn to appreciate noisier, more improvisational and more angular works. Perhaps not. But you'll gain the experience, the ability to discuss it intelligently, and you'll know you've given the genre the old college try.

Had I known I might not like Flux, I probably still would've downloaded it, as I want to contribute something to this group (it's tight-nit enough as it is!) and maybe I'd find something to enjoy.
I never said I wasn't going to give it a try. I was just saying how I felt. You're definitely right, though.

EDIT: By the way, this isn't the 1989 re-release is it? It has the same album cover but it's not labeled as such.
