That was a statement of fact that apply's to everyone, not just you. Many reviewers talk about how reviewing the equipment gets in the way of enjoying the music.
"Subjective"; somehow you are misinterpreting that word; it simply means that when we look at the same thing, we see two different things; there is no right or wrong.
"Stereotypical" I use that word a lot; meaning I've heard those licks before; Miles talks about that a lot. The "riffing hip phrases" he was hitting in the 50's, he can't stand to hear them anymore.
So many jazz sax musicians have a tendency to do "Bird" like riffs that I've heard before.
It's possible that things that sound new to you, are unoriginal to me, hence, that word.
"Objective" has no room for any other opinion; that opinion is the right one and all others are invalid. Do you have such an opinion?
Some jazz enthusiasts might consider the requirements of this thread to high for them; it's often necessary to express thoughts in writing, not everyone is qualified. plus as Rok stated, we got everyone who wants to post on this thread, ain't that enough.
Ghosthouse, I was listening to "74 Miles Away" while writing this post, it sounds better all the time.
Frogman, I enjoy your technical expertise even when I don't know what it means; but as long as Acman and Rok understand it, that's good enough for me.
Enjoy the music.
