Good Art Bad Art seeks to be a place where good and, yes, bad music can be discussed openly, honestly, and rigorously; and where the opposing forces of objectivity and subjectivity can share the same warm bed for a brief while. It is also a place where you can leave your opinion (I read them all) in the always fascinating and sometimes fractious comment section — don't be shy now.
