i think it's natural thing. it shows the narcissistic nature of musicians

 

[Scar Symmetry]

Yes, it is. Quit music immediately. Enjoying your own work is a sin.

 

[SirMyghin]

If you can write stuff you actually like, you must be doing pretty good overall. So keep it up

 

[MaxOfMetal]

While being a tortured artist whose vision is so grandiose that they're never happy with their own material so everything is a disappointment because they feel they don't have the skill/tools/soul/whatever, is in so much vogue these days.

It's 100% fine to love your work. Every musician should, that's the point of playing.

This...

If you can't enjoy it, how in any universe can you expect others to like it. You may get sick of your own stuff, but if you don't like it in the first place, then you're doin it wrong.

And I like it so much, I just constantly listen to it. Is that a bad thing?

Not at all. My primary goal in music is to make music that I want to listen to.

 

[Duelbart]

Wait what, that's like asking if it's bad that you love your girlfriend, or if it's bad that your clothes really fit you

 

[BMU]

I'll listen to the latest things I've done over and over, constantly skipping back to it to reference against whoever was on my iPod. It's a pathologically screwed up combination of narcissism and self-criticism.

 

[Blasphemer]

I'm in the same boat, man. Dont feel bad about it. How I look at it is that I write music that I like to hear and that makes me feel. If you're not getting that out of your own tunes, they why write them?

 

[ghostred7]

I'd love to love my own music, or even my band....consider yourself lucky. There are some of us stuck so far down into a rut that we hate our own music AND our cover band. I used to love what I wrote. It's a blessing to please yourself, your hardest critic.

 

[AlucardXIX]

I always thought people wrote music for themselves...

I mean why wouldn't you love what you write? Why would you write something you didn't care for?

I've always looked at it from the perspective of "This is music for ME. If other people like it, great!"

 

[AdamWasilla]

I'm currently in a phase where I'm only listening to my own music or the music of close friends. I never kept journals or photographs, music as journal entires always made the most sense. Super nostalgia engaged.

Either that or Billie Holiday - getting way into her again, but I digress, haha.

 

[guitareben]

Its a great thing!!! The most annoying thing i find when i write music is that i DON'T like it. And, also, as far as i can see, isn't the point of writing music to write it for yourself? Thats my outlook on it anyway ^^ (other people may have diff opinions... but i reckon the best music comes out when the artist really likes it etc )

 

[ZXIIIT]

I love what I've created musically, it may not be as polished, produced, clear, EQ'd, compressed or technical as what I listen to, but it's something I created and has sentimental value to me, regardless of what anyone else might think of it.

Plus I write music to please myself primarily, so I love listening to it to make changes, see how I've progressed and relive what I felt when I wrote it.

 

[Murmel]

or if it's bad that your clothes really fit you

Considering that most metalheads wear clothes that are actually too large....

 

[Goatfork]

Lamb of God said in one of their documentaries that one of the main reasons why they started making music is because it was just about impossible to go out to a record store and pick up a GOOD metal album at the time, so they decided to make music that they themselves would listen to.

Whether it's actually true or not, I don't know. Either way the message hold water.

 

[eaeolian]

I listen to the finished product a shitload for about three days once it's done and then never play it again. at that point it's months of writing, weeks of recording, and more weeks of listening to mixes and then you are completely and utterly sick of the song.

QFT. I can just now listen to our 2nd disc. It came out in 1998.

 

[huhngott]

Hey guys. I'm here asking for your help. I've created my profile recently and i need some likes! I am recording an album and will release it on 2012, please listen to the preview of the song i've got there, i would say the music i'm playing is sort of Animals as Leaders? You tell me
Thanks, best regards!
