> I tried to like that band, l really did because the musicianship was undeniable but l just couldn’t.

I had a similar reaction. Even as an accomplished guitarist, the complexity and virtuosity overwhelmed me. When I listen to music I play along in my head -- some stuff I know cold, others I can't play but imagine that I could learn them. But stuff that I can't even follow... well it's sort of like "out" jazz sax/trumpet riffing, a solid sonic wall -- I eventually lose track and once that happens it's no longer as enjoyable.

I will say that decades ago, with ingestion of the proper psychotropics, I could let it become background sound, and that was fine. But I don't do that sith any more.

Imagine the night sky if your star was closer. If in the cluster even the daylight view would be stars everywhere. Along with lots of radiation...
