I know what you mean. There are lots of musicians that I "should" love, but I'm kinda "blah". And then there are those bands that I keep buying their albums when it has been 3 or 4 albums since I actually loved the whole album (e.g. Radiohead).

Anyway, have you ordered the new Features CD yet? I'm pretty stoked!
