Invisible Grin Music sounds better when it's recommended

I think the reason why is because instead of hearing this new song like it was "just another trance track," you instead listen to it knowing someone actually thinks it's worth your time. It's so good that they would actually recommend it to you.

For example, the song For An Angel by van Dyk; When I first heard this, I was like, "ok." But when I started reading about how you guys like it, I listened again and I was blown away!

But then again, there are always those tracks that just sound good to everyone. Like Satellite by Oceanlab. I loved this song the first time I heard it and I was glad to later discover that it's well-liked by you guys here on tranceaddict.

Well trance is bad.

But...

Usually when someone reccomends something to me, I take it with a grain of salt, most of the EDM lovers I know love EVERYTHING, and dont understand that I have more specific tastes ahahaha.

Exactly. What you're describing here No_gravity is called bandwagoning.

I do sometimes. But most of the time I end up missing the supposed good tracks because I don't pay attention.

So like right now I'm listening to this album called IN-TRance vol. 2. The whole album is "meh" to me. But this song "Trance Anthem 6 (radio edit)" by "Y.O.J." is pretty good.

I would agree with that. When people say that they like a song, they usually say why and you start to sub-consciously make a list of things to look out for. So when you listen to the song again, you listen for those specific parts. Sometimes you like them, and sometimes you don't. What determines if you like the whole song is like a scale in your head, and the negatives weigh out against the positives. This decision making process goes on in your head every time you listen to the song. Thats why sometimes after listening to a single song multiple times in a row, you start to like it less and less. This is because the negatives just received a new member: repetition. And if the negative and the positives were about even in the first place, the song gets old, and you don't like it anymore. (This is why there are so many rap "hits" and they come and go faster then you can think)

Now, psychology aside, if you are one of those people who change their opinion just to fit others, then thats a whole different story.

(Sorry to all of you who like rap. It's not my fault you are all dumb.)

That happened with me too. I had heard that track before and when I read about it later on, how famous it is and stuff, I was like, Really ? What's so special about it ? I still find it plain ordinary. But there are other tracks which you like right away and many times they turn out to be hits !!

Cool, cool, but I felt the same way you did about 'For An Angel' when I first heard it, except that I still think the track is nothing special regardless of external influence. But I see your point though. Some people don't notice a track's special quirks until somebody points it out for them. For me I usually get the feel of the whole track after a couple 'listens'. I rarely if ever need the help of somebody else to guide me on the hidden dynamics of a track.

I think its more like this: If someone recommends a track that suits you tastes you will like it. but if it doesnt suit your tastes you wont like it.

Music sounds better when you have to dig through heaps of crappy tracks to find the gems.
