I like the call and response format elsewhere. But that format really needs to be the centerpiece of whatever it is a part of, or it sounds either insincere or needy at worst, misplaced at best.
I would rather read "It's cringe-worthy" than simply "It just doesn't sound good", which is your go-to criticism. ;)

yes, clearly my biggest flaw is that I don't take the time to describe precisely what I don't like about the things I don't like
Well, it does kind of stop dead any discussion about music, and you point it out in other people so... 'cringe-worthy' can stay yes?

No. It is a horrible phrase that should never be used.

What about "cringer"? What if we start saying shit like, "ah, that tune Inside Job is such a cringer."?

The best part is, their albums are so different that I have no expectations for the third record. It doesn't matter what it is. I just want new music.

There is, of course, the old 'cringe-inducing.'

I'm not rushing you by any means, but I'm very excited for your reaction to the second album after digging the first as much as you are.
