Obviously that's not the only reason someone wouldn't like something, but it can play a big role.
Spot on, however I believe if an album is good, after a bit of time dedicated to getting into the album, the not being around at the time factor can fade IF the album is actually decent. A few of my favourite albums, at first I just branded them as meh, until I really dug deeper.

When I have a discussion about an album I dislike or don't get, I always hope people who can see something in the album give me an insight, make me see things I didn't previously see.
