Now say I check out a new album which gets a lot of praise, and I like it. It's never for the reasons it's positively reviewed. I just... like it. It bothers me.
I never understood the idea of enjoying a piece music based on its complexity. Sure, complexity can bring in enough interest to keep you listening to a piece but If it's not saying anything to me it really won't matter how long I pay attention to it, I'm still not going to think much of it.
