When I was a younger man, I would get very excited for new releases from bands I liked. I would start anticipating weeks in advance, pre-order, make the trek down to the CD store, and listen to the CD a couple of times in a row.
Nowadays I'm less like that, because I listen to a lot more music and because I'm very critical of even my favourite artists. But I still get excited once or twice a year for an album, something that I find out about weeks in advance and can't help but anticipate. So I'm no less passionate, but far less "fanboy" about certain bands.
Do you still get that childish glee for upcoming releases? Or have you mellowed with age?
