something I've found is that I actually dislike mediocre or mid albums more than bad albums.

the thing is with a bad album is you can still have strong opinions on why it's bad - you can mock it like nostalgia critics the wall (which is a horrid album by the way) or critique it on why it's bad.

with a mid album there is barely anything to say other than it's mid, bland, boring, mediocre and basically every other synonym for “mid”. a bad album still makes you feel something, whether hatred, disgust, laughter, etc. but a mid album just makes me feel bored or want to do something else.

what I'm getting at is that I feel a mid album is far more of an insult than a bad one since at least a bad album tried, a mid album did the bare minimum.
