Songs of Innocence is a bad, generic album.

i don't think so at all. it's all over the place and the last few songs sound the most post-punk of anything they've done in a long time. and the lyrics are actually about specific things
maybe it's the production or something but it all sounded like lovely whoa-oh-whoa coldplay/imagine dragons/whatever else radio trash to me

Honestly I think it's more this:

The researcher in the article calls it music-specific anhedonia and they made a little online quiz version.

Here were my scores:


The mean is 50 and standard deviation is 10, which puts me way out of "normal" for everything but sensori-motor responses to music.

Yeah, that's his nickname: The Edge. I used to think names like "The Edge" or "Spike" were cool, but then I turned 12.

The only way I could ever respect him is if he shouted some stupid catch phrase before every concert like "WATCH OUT! THE EDGE WILL CUT YOU!"

there is no reason to listen to the '80s king crimson albums after discipline because the live performances on absent lovers are like 1000x better

Granted, but why wouldn't you filter out the crowd noise at least?

I'm the last person who should be judgemental about this sort of thing but I honestly do wish to understand.
