However a 5 minute chunk of Art Angels is going to be quite a bit different from any other 5 minute chunk you pick because imo it has a ton of variety in sounds, song structures, and melodies. So the idea I presented about judging the whole album based on a short sample applies to some albums but not others.
If you haven't listened to the whole album, you have no idea what it encompasses and therefore and banned from speaking on it. I say this semi-seriously with regards to MMM because the album has much more variety than you seem to give it credit for. And since it's from a five minute listen, I'm honestly not that surprised.
