I'm pretty sure I can't persuade you to listen to more of whatever I like that you don't like (so uhh, most of it, I guess). Just saying you and everyone else really has the same approach as me.
I mean sure, I believe that you believe that you have come to a good and informed decision on this. But here's the thing: you are not informed on this album and haven't made a justified decision on this.

Analogy time.

MicShazam: I don't like sushi.
Me: Bummer, where did you try it at?
MicShazam: Nah I haven't tried it because I've had fish sticks and didn't like them.
Me: Sushi is crazy different from fish sticks, you should still try it just to know.
MicShazam: I'm pretty comfortable with eating pizza, I'm just gonna stick to trying out new pizzas instead of eating something that I know I'll hate.
Me: How can you know that you'll hate it if your expectations are way different than what sushi is actually like?
MicShazam: Listen, I only have so much stomach, I can't just eat everything.
Me: *facedesk*
