I dnt see how "listening to some of it on the internet", or listening to it once, or half-listening to it, etc can make you form a solid opinion. On first listen I said "oh yeah, it's okay" (and I'm a huge fan). On 2nd, 3rd, 4th listen I said "it's not as good as STRAWBERRY JAM, etc" on 5th, 6th, 7th listen I fell in love.

I didn't say I hate it or it was absolutely awful. I just said it didn't interest me. I know that with some music you have to let it sink in over a period of time, but I don't feel like listening to something when it doesn't really fit in with my current musical phase, right now it's Black Metal and Boris.

my opinion of animal collective hasn't changed since the first time i heard them about 6 or 7 years ago

simply because i don't want to invest that sort of time in something which my instinct tells me isn't worth it, based on a cursory listen. i mean, really...'my girls' is stomach-churning awfulness...

modest mouse has sucked for over a decade now....

shit..wrong fuckin thread...
