Albums You're Digging II

Of course I realize that, and admittedly I'm backtracking a bit to clarify but I still stand by my main point. I believe that if someone absolutely despises the first 5 minutes of MMM then there's nothing on the rest of the album that will change their mind. 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.

20+ minutes is a fairly big sample though, which is how much of Art Angels I've listened to. My clause is I'm judging it on that basis. This is from someone who dug Visions.

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.

Well on this we just fundamentally disagree, I've skimmed through in 1-2 minute bursts and I don't hear much difference at all between minute 5 and minute 50.

I thought the beginning of To the Lighthouse was boring. I read the first five pages then skipped to the last five pages and noticed they were both written in English. Yup, the whole book is boring, then.

Okay now this post was laughably bad at best regardless of intention

That's how funny you sound to people with working ears.

I haven't listened to it enough times to say how much actual variety it has, but it definitely never uses the same idea twice.
