I wasn't a fan of this one art first either but now it's one of my solid favourites.

I find that most of their music takes a couple of listens to really start to get all the details and get in to it (I've been listening to this one for like a year but only the other day noticed the deep growl from around 1:00-1:35 that I can feel in my bones), also learned never to listen those first few times on speakers because it sounds like crap..

I know, but come on. The last 3-4 albums of IM feel like they barely bothered to change up the soundscape and the effects. IM25 is also just chokefull of songs with lyrics. I got nothing out of it that I expected.

Also they singed about hard times like fuck me, have the resolve for something more or dont do that kind of stuff at all.

People wanted converting vegetarians 3 or something actually random they pull out of their ass.

I listened a few times but I gravitate back to actual psytrance as this is not that.

Damn you I will listen again today just to prove myself wrong!

Jfc, why even bother commenting? No one is forcing you to listen.. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

If you didn't want people's opinions, why did you post on a site literally dedicated to people giving their own take and opinion?

He bothered commenting, because he wanted someone else to hear his opinion. Exactly the purpose of this site...don't get offended over someone not liking the same things as you, they're just sharing because they DO like Infected Mushroom. They just might not like this song or album.

a site literally dedicated to people giving their own take and opinion?

It's a site for sharing, and a magazine for music, you know, that thing that's 100% down to personal taste, you're the one who chooses whether to give your opinion in turn, and I just don't see the point of commenting on a link to a track you don't like, saying you don't like it.. Like - nobody cares, not everything is for you, you're not contributing anything of any value to the conversation, it's perfectly ok to just move on if you don't like something without announcing it to the world.. ยฏ\(ใƒ„)/ยฏ

It'a also perfectly okay to announce your displeasure. There's no need to get defensive about it. Nobody is attacking you.

Don't try to normalize EVERYTHING being positive in life. We need criticism and disagreement to grow as people. Don't attack people just because they want to voice an opinion different than your own.

[โ€“] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmmfao, I'm not defensive, and I've not "attacked" anyone, I just don't give a shit that you don't like it, and can't believe I'm having to have a whole back and forth explaining to you that I don't give a shit because your sense of entitlement is just so overwhelming you can't imagine someone not giving a shit.

It's not my problem that you think your opinion is ever-relevant and necessary everywhere, nor that it hurt your fragile little ego to be told it isn't.

I'm done here.

I mean, I'm not the one who's resorted to vulgarity and personal insults - so I'm gonna let your reply speak for itself. :) I hope you feel better soon.

I listen to their stuff on the daily on the drive from home to work. Ani Meshuval, and Bliss on Mushrooms are on that playlist so I listen to them every day. They wouldn't be there if I didn't really like them. It's mostly personal preference that music doesn't consist mostly of vocals. There are exceptions, like stuff from Umet Ozcan - which...is technically all vocals, lol.

Ok, well, to each their own, if you don't like it, don't listen.. ยฏ\(ใƒ„)/ยฏ

[โ€“] thantik 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think you misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm not complaining. I'm saying I like their stuff...

It feels like you're getting defensive here.
