Yeah, we're not on the same page on that one. Not even in the same library. 🤣 I love music that goes on a journey, with my favourite genre being the slow build up to an exuberant finish. So a 30 minute track that goes through multiple moods and soundscapes is absolutely my vibe.
It's not something I'd argue about though. I gave up on that once I abandoned my "Metal or GTFO!" phase. Love what you love, is my mantra. And I ACK I'm an outlier. I suspect it's because it's the instruments rather than vocals that appeal to me more (although a bad vocalist can be a deal breaker)
