And the controls SUCK on those levels.

Anyway, I guess whatever people "look for" in music after reaching this stage varies between people. But like I said, it all depends on if we view whatever we find in the album to be high quality or not.

I know a lot people won't agree with the sentiment behind this but music takes a very spiritual form for me. Like I said, at times, it takes me out of time and space and completely lifts me to a better place. The power of it is awe inspiring.

Agreement is irrelevant since it's your experience. No one can tell you what you feel/perceive.

I'll direct you to my Popol Vuh review later. Time and space were the beginning.

Thanks for pointing that out. I do forget sometimes.

I think most people actually experience music from a powerfully emotional place before anything else. Only people of a particularly nerdy strain (not meant to cause offense, just a lazy attempt to try and slap a label on what I mean to get at) actually have to learn NOT to analyze and just listen instead.

Musical experience is actually based on putting both together. That way, people can learn to see quality in any kind of music instead of being stereotyped and biased to a few genres for a longer period of time for the rest of their life. Most people aren't naturally open to most kinds of music.

I actually think that overanalyzing music is more likely to put you in a box than the alternative, mostly because you'll be analyzing things based off of one mode of music (such as Western music) and end up grading things on criteria that it's not even considering.

I'd say that's fostered by upbringing. I think that anybody has the potential to enjoy any type of music if they're exposed to it in the right climate.

It might be personality. Curiosity vs complacency.
