Album Rating: 3.0
'example, geogaddi is a hard 5 but its only my third favorite BoC. you can easily make distinctions between objective qualities in music and personal taste.'
I mean yeah, sort of. I think it can be easy to recognise qualities other people might like or find fascinating that just don't hit you in the right way, because it may not be your particular tipple. I also think there are varying degrees in which you can apply this concept. One which measures objectivity as being equal to, or anywhere near as important as personal taste, is completely the wrong approach. Also, a lot of people likely over-emphasise the extent in which they can ascertain where this distinction lies.
'Pet Sounds' is filled to the brim with classic pop songs, it has catchy hooks that I can recognise as earworms, is an important album for many people and I can see why. I still find it irritating af and would never pretend otherwise in the interest of 'objectivity'.
