I don't mind if music is very standard either. If there's some kind of "feel" to it that, completely subjectively, speaks to me. Some part of the band's aesthetic. Then I can potentially love it, in spite of it not really being anything original at all.
That probably explains why I love that Stam1na album ("SLK") that we did in the album club a while back, when everyone else just kind of shrugged and didn't get what I thought was amazing about it. It's still one of my all time favorite albums, but it really comes down to some rather intangible elements that help it rise well above it's fairly straight forward genre references.
