Music, unlike film/TV/books/theatre, is a medium in which I just go with my gut as to determine what's good or what's not. Mainly because there's so much of it and so many genres and styles and histories, it's a lot harder to come up with any concrete, objective principles that apply to 'good' music. So, I don't really bother. Having said that, 'good' music tends to grow on me the more I listen to it. If I find the song in question interesting but don't necessarily 'like' it on a first listen, that's actually a sign that I'll end up really liking it. It happened with Radiohead, it happened with Azaelia Banks, it happened with Arcade Fire etc. Conversely, if I really like a song on first listen, if I like it less with each listen, then I probably wouldn't consider it all that 'good', as its flaws become more apparent. 'Cause that's the best thing that multiple listens do to music: expose the flaws and truly flawless moments in equal measure.
