Derek, it's all fine and dandy to drag some 28 year old review from the bowels of history texts or comment on how ridiculous the star rating is for his albums, but what do you think of the albums in question. And no you don't need to go out and listen to it. Frankly i don't care. Really. There is no reason you should like my favourite album and no, i'm not 14, and so no, it won't make us bff.

I don't mean it personally, but i frankly feel it's fine to not like something, or to not even give it a chance. We all have biases in life and we are all individuals with individual tastes and association. I think you all hit the nail on the head but all for your own reasons. I would say that the last thing that any of us are is conformists and yet we are trying to conform ourselves and each other by trying to like shit that we are supposed to like. It's almost like people who like indie bands but stop liking them when they get popular because they don't want to be part of the mainstream ...but in reverse.
