Rating and reviewing albums after just 1 day

Hi,

After collecting music for more than 50 years, I think I have learned that my "inner attention" does not require several listens to something to get a nice view and understanding of it. Some bits and pieces might take longer to pick up, but that is more about one's own inner attention, than it is about the music itself. 

Thus, I would imagine that one might have the idea that a different mood tomorrow after no sex tonight, will make me listen to it differently, and it can't ... the same music is still there, and the main DIFFERENCE is just me and possibly my moods, which have never interfered with the listening  of music, to the point that one girlfriend got mad and said that she could not compete with any music!!!!!

That was tough, but it suggested that I listened to things with a depth that I was not using with my own girlfriend, and I had to fix that.

In one of my reviews of the ITCOTCK I spelled out if I felt any difference between the original (still have the album!) and the redone version, and the answer was NO, I didn't. In fact, I felt that the new version, although it seemed cleaner, mostly tried to change the volumes of various instruments to give you the idea that this was more important at a certain moment and something else was at another moment. To me, that did not change the original "vision" and "thoughts" about the music at all. 

Same thing for a lot of classical music. See if you can find one piece conducted by three or four different maestros, and you will find, that despite the various points of emphasis the feeling about the whole of the music is still there very much in one piece.

My question to myself is ... if we are so used to one form only of music, to the point that hearing something different (like with no time keeping devices or drummers) will simply jar our imaginations ... all it might be  happening would be that we are not sure how to interpret that ... since in general, most people do not do well at all with music that has no rhyme, no meter, and no beat! And to boot, the whole of the 20th century has been about breaking the mold of all the rhyme, meter and beat ... we sometimes I wonder if all we have done is go backwards and tie ourselves more and more to the "familiar" in the arts, for the sake of all the commerciality out there!
