I think you expressed my feelings here, i really appreciate some songs and then people come and point out all the mixing/whatever stuff and then it's like i'm reconsidering and asking myself questions "wait, it does sound messy, her older songs did sound more polished" and sometimes when i listen to older stuff i'm kinda telling myself things like "why can't she do such quality production anymore", it's like i'm becoming like these people and it drives me mad ! Because prior reading their comments i'd just blindly love her songs and move on with my life but now it's like their "negativity" is impacting the way i see her recent work and i can't help it.

I'm in love with about 99% of the things she releases though, but it's true that sometimes when a preview comes out for instance and i get super hyped about it, the moment i see people telling things like "i hate it" "this is a (insert a song name here) rip off but even worse" "why can't she innovate" "it sounds dated" i don't feel that excited anymore, it's not that i don't like the song anymore, but it's hard to be excited about something if there is a lot of negativity.
