I understand!!!

Ok, so a while ago I read somewhere that some "metalheads" think that thinking about music is taking away from the whole point of it. Now I pondered this for a while, I thought back to when I was once a fan of speed/thrash metal (I still am, just not nearly as much as i used to be), but couldnt really understand what that statement meant. And I realized the other day what I think it means. I believe it means that if you think about the world of music itself, or, become a critic about it lets say, and THAT is what takes away from the point of it. Cause I was listening to Phil and Ryan talk about different albums and pretty much rating them (dont get offended ryan, that just re-sparked the pondering of what I wanted to know what that statement was about), and I realized that it's silly to rate them and say what level a certain album peice of music is on or what have you. The point is to appreciate what a certain peice is. If you start rating things and/or making fun of other things then you become a critic. I've tried my best over the past year or so to think about the right ways to go about situation or topics like this, and Im kind of starting to understand. I've hardly scratched the surfice, but it's making more sense. It's one thing when you say you preffer a certain style or genre or album over another, but its entirely different when you say, "This sucks, and what I like is better", because thats just your opinion. One thing can be completely ideal to one person, while the other person could think its stupid and pointless, that's too critical. Good music is good music and that's it. So stop thinking about it so much. Thinking about what you're going to be playing or adding in a certain part or certain notes to make it more complex or how difficult its gonna be is different than say its better than something else.
