Really, am I the only one that buys music based on people's recommendations
without even hearing it? I can read a review of something and buy it based
off that. I'm rarely disappointed.
I dunno, maybe I'm better than everyone else and just have a wider tolerance
for music within the styles I like - but I also have a hard time buying the
"why buy an album when there's only 1 or 2 good songs and everything else is
crap" argument.
