ALLY TO GOOD, NIGHTMARE TO YOU
Sometimes I just find it easier to throw on stuff I'm already familiar with rather than try to explore and disect new stuff. And that holds me back from investing in more new stuff.
I'm like this too. I know there are people with the capacity to discover new music on a daily basis (I follow some folks on RYM with literally several thousands of ratings) but I just want to find albums I like and listen to them over and over until I know them inside and out. There's still tons of essential stuff I've not even heard once; the traditional metal canon is the only one I've anywhere near fully explored, and yet I only heard an album like Slough Feg's Traveller for the first time last week.
