Define new? What do I look like, a dictionary?
Every album is new. Every song, or for that matter every performance is new.
My point was, even though I like some of it, I like it in my head not my nutsack. There hasn't been anything since the early 80's that will bring me to my feet with a nutsack-clenching, chest-pounding, hair-on-the-back-of-my-neck-standing, anticipation, with the first few notes.
I've generally attributed this to changes is me, my life, rather than the music degrading. Even though the old music still excites me, it could be the association with the memories generated when the music was new.
