By this I mean do you judge all things by the same criteria? I was discussing a few movies with somebody and I liked a few that she hated. She also
held them to a higher degree of quality than I would. I like a lot of really bad movies, hence my love for Troma. Another example is with music. If
a band releases something with really shitty sound, I judge it by when it was recorded. If it was a crappy sounding 7" recorded in 1981 than I'll
have no problem with it, because that's how a lot of bands were back then due to the way things were. If a newer band releases a shitty sounding 7" I
tend to be more critical of it because it's so cheap and easy to record something good these days. I tend to categorize things before I judge them,
be it movies, music, tv shows, whatever. I take different things into account, such as budget, year of release, intent, etc.
Anybody else like that?

Bad production can't kill a great song. (See Louie Louie)
And great production can't make a bad song into something good. (See Mainstream Music in 2010)
That being said, I like a balance of the two.

I take things for what they are and what they are meant to be.
I have heard people complain how bad rob zombie and tarantino films are and i understand they just don't get what they are and are supposed to be.
same can be applied to music at times.
and yeah the production value on Negative Approach is terrible compared to whatever Hatebreed record comes out this year, but I 'lll tkae the NA jawn
over the HB most of the time.
and I'm stopping there.

I try to let everything stand on it's own merits as far as music or movies. No two bands should sound exactly alike, and the same thing for
recordings. I wouldn't expect something recorded 30 years ago to sound as good as things recorded now. But things that are over or under produced
always makes them suspect.
I'm no expert or even really a fan of things like black metal and generally from a lot of the stuff i have heard it was just really fuzzy and sounded
like it wasn't recorded well on purpose and i don't like that. I'm not saying it isn't good but i like stuff recorded in an studio to sound that way.
If its a live album or something like that it doesn't matter as much to me.

Kinda hard to explain how are why but definitely hold different things to different standards.
