Plus as long as everyone remains civil and accepts other people's opinions, it's just discussion which is what we're here for, right?

I feel the same way about My Bloody Valentine. I've never actually made it through the entire album, it just sounds wrong to me. I heard a song on the radio once that had a nice melody so I thought I'd give it a shot, but the rest was just hurting my ears. I may try again one day but why listen to music I don't enjoy? I believe in giving albums multiple tries before passing judgment but sometimes if it's painful it's not worth it. :p:

Ok you are not starting a thread like this and your first post for it is Loveless????

Now, I know to each his own...but damn, man.

And I know I am now proving your point. But, for shame...

I just don't like it, distorted guitar riffs, where you can't hear the singer or the lyrics. No drums either. It's more a matter of not getting it than hate..

What's the big deal with it? Mediocre at best for me.

That's just ONE album. You hate 3 brilliant Smiths albums!

3-1, I will find 2 other albums you love, and hate on them. Just to spite you.

I could all the sudden hear those melodies and loved that he could create them in such a mess of guitars. The music is meant to be heard as a big amorphous sound...the songs are entities within themselves.

Well, you get the idea...I doubt it will change your mind. At least you like the Smiths. You saved yourself on that one.

Haha, you may think it won't change my mind, but I continue to listen to albums, with the hope that "I get it!!!", I always believe it to be a bit ignorant to listen to an album once and then dismiss it as bad, if a piece of work has a big fan base, and people really rate it (fans and critics.) There must be something to it?

But at the moment, I don't rate it. A lot of the time, I'll say that, and then a few months later really like it. I make myself look hypocritical a lot, but there's nothing wrong with changing your mind eh.

Yay, I like redemption! ;)

Let's see that discussion ...













Summarised:
So some albums/bands, are liked, and others aren't, but "to each their own, you know". However, people should keep listening to the album they hated, cause they might just "get it".

I guess that's what happened so far, and will continue to happen...
