Rediscovery...

Recently me and my roommate have discovered the simple beauty in the world. Were both huge metal/hard rock fans. On any given day you can hear tool or Dethklock blasting from our room. But lately all we've been able to listen to is Tori Amos, of all people. I'm starting to believe that in the natural evolution in musical taste that if you expose yourself to extrema loudness for too long it becomes boring so when a stripped down starts it sounds so different. I can zone out a Cannibal Corpse song but when a song by Lykke Li starts I snap to attention. Has any one else had experiences like this? Feel free to drop me a line and let me know what you think.
