Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

With my favorite band, every new record was "not as good as what came before". But after getting used to, it got there as well.

I have concluded that familiarity brings a feeling of quality in music.

It takes a while to learn the minutia of what makes a particular song great. And the more complex and lengthy a song is, the longer it takes to fully appreciate it.

Yeah, people who can only get into the old shit just have a hard time letting go of the past. Live a little, friends.

(That said, there are some bands who peaked a long time ago, are going on reunion tours, and yeah, usually the new stuff sucks.)

Stone Temple Pilots was one of those bands for me.

Can't confirm. Of course the first time you listen to a new song isn't the same since you don't know what to expect, but from then on you can vibe to it even better for a while since it's new. I'd even assume this is the reason for the "repeat song" feature and why some people listen to a single new song for hours.

Dunno, I have a hard time understanding your perspective.
