Bechuga Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Read the title then come back to me. Back? Okay. What are yours? To start off, I am not fond of albums that are just one long song or an album without the songs being broken into their stated parts, sometimes even albums that contain only a few songs of which all of them are very long will end up relegated to the Not Listened To Often pile. For example, if an album consists of two songs, both of which are 30 minutes, it turns me off liking it or putting it on. If that same album was those two songs broken down into smaller pieces, I would probably like it. It certainly affects how much doom metal I listen to, as well as others like DJ mixes and so on. There is a 30 minute song by Tesseract that I love, but it's broken into six pieces, so I don't mind it being long. But Yob, who have some songs over 25 minutes, I don't like listening to. Also Earth 2, which is technically one 70 minute song broken into 3 chunks, but 3 chunks still so large I find myself not listening to it. Among others. It is irrational. I have no defence.

keanu reeves Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 this is really dumb but i don't really listen to various artist compilations because i have no idea how to organize them digitally. i hate having a "various artist" tag in my artist folder that consists of dozens of albums with hundreds of artists in it. this would not be a problem if my primary music intake was on physical media.

Hugh Mughnus Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Like you Bech, I don't like really long songs in general. I struggle to listen to most of Else-q.... Ironically, I like Goldie's - Mother (the 60m one). lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcofribas Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 this is really dumb but i don't really listen to various artist compilations because i have no idea how to organize them digitally. i hate having a "various artist" tag in my artist folder that consists of dozens of albums with hundreds of artists in it. this would not be a problem if my primary music intake was on physical media. i have maybe 3 or 4 various artist comps in my collection. i simply don't enjoy listening to single tracks by different artists, very hard for me to get into the mood.* on a similar note i don't like singles or 45s. i'm an album man i guess. *an exception is for so called "world music" but lots of this stuff is only available in the form of compilations so there's nothing I can do about that. plus i'm racist so I'm ok having my different Pygmy tracks lumped together.

keanu reeves Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 yeah on that note i absolutely never break up albums or delete songs because i can't stand having single tracks in my library. i don't even bother with singles, which is ridiculous for an electronic music listener. and then if an album isn't very good but has a good song on it, i just delete the album and wish them better luck next time. albums til i die.

Kidrodi Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 It bothers me when I listen to vinyl rips of stuff, especially limited releases that are really hard to get. It's like I'm not listening to the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Shouldn't the topic title read "Petty Reasons Not to Like Certain Kinds of Music?" For me, I can't stand compilations either, for the same reasons Keanu mentioned. Oh, and I hate multi-CD releases, again because they don't translate well into the digital music management world. yeah on that note i absolutely never break up albums or delete songs because i can't stand having single tracks in my library. i don't even bother with singles, which is ridiculous for an electronic music listener. and then if an album isn't very good but has a good song on it, i just delete the album and wish them better luck next time. albums til i die.

keanu reeves Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 i'm the same with multi cd releases. i consolidate the ones i really like (saw vol ii, drukqs) into one long tracklist but i hate them in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimpyLoo Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 1) Sometimes I can't help but see taste-in-music as some unconscious social or cultural game that we're playing...we seem to reject music (at least occasionally) based on the values and concepts it promotes, rather than simply whether or not the mere sounds themselves are pleasing...I don't know if that's petty or not, but it seems to not be about the music per se, but rather about ideology or morality or whatever...(e.g. I won't even give Justin Beiber a chance because of the cynical games that are being played behind the scenes, and how distasteful I find his whole persona...and who the hell is gonna give the Lost Prophets a chance? like 'yeah, the dude fucked a baby but who knows, might have some killer riffs') 2) There's something weird going on with our need to categorize things...and perhaps it makes it really easy to not engage things on their own terms and merits...(or at least I know that I occasionally do that) 3) yeah, I have trouble with longer music...is this a generational thing?

ncrtx Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 This isn't even music related, but if I don't like the album art (esp. if it looks cheap/uninspired) the music has a 40% higher chance to not be of my likings. When I browse huge netlabel Bandcamps, I only open the ones with art that I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez, man - you and I are like digital music soulmates I wanted it to feel clickbaity. Get people in here and get those precious views / clicks. Also multi-CD releases I despised until I began to rip them all into the same album folder. Totally fine with it now. And album artwork discouraging you I can relate to. If it's totally garbage, it really can put me off liking the music. One of my favourite artists Bourbonese Qualk have TERRIBLE artwork but I just about manage to ignore my retching when listening.

Schlitze Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Yeah but when you click back into Artist it turns into a mess again. I can feel Keanu Reeves' pain. Remix albums I used to spend so much time editing the track info (changing the name of artist to the remixer and editing the track title to include the name of the remixed) keeps it nice and neat on the screen but it's a pain in the dick.

IOS Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Can't stand classical (or even freaking "cuntemporary" for that reason) albums that have a fuckton of people mentioned in the artist field. Look at this vomit: https://www.discogs.com/Britten-P%C3%A4rt-Neeme-J%C3%A4rvi-Bergen-Philharmonic-Orchestra-The-Young-Persons-Guide-to-the-Orchestra-Sy/release/8343621 And also: https://www.discogs.com/Xenakis-Del-Tredici-Takemitsu-Nono-Richard-Dufallo-Conducting-The-Festival-Chamber-Ensemble-Phyllis-/master/183621 Who the fuck are all these people?!
