I totally agree with this.
I used to make a point of trying to listen to as many albums as I could that there was a some sort of buzz about whether it be websites or other people telling me. Eventually I stopped because I was so bored of listening to so many mediocre albums and 'flavour of the month' albums that barely had a lifespan of 2 weeks. The internet has made everything faster, things happen in weeks when previously they would happen over months.
These days I take my time listening to new stuff. I could probably count on my fingers & toes how many new bands or albums I checked out in 2011 & 2012 the way I see it is if they really are as good as people say they are they'll still be around for me to listen to in a few years time.
I don't see myself missing out on anything.
