I do try to keep an open mind when I listen to these albums, and I do listen to at least the first minute of every song to give everything a chance.

With that said, I know myself and my musical tastes so I feel bad when I get a rap or hip hop album like Me Against The World by 2Pac because I know I am not going to like it. It’s certainly popular and many people rate it highly but I just skip my way through it and then put on some Gov’t Mule or something…
