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.
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.

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.
