"Round and Round" by Ariel Pink's Haunted Grafitti

Question: How do your musical facts influence your opinion? What is the correlation between what you picked out and your opinion? Do you have bias? If so, explain.

Answer: Surprisingly, there seemed to be little, if any, correlation between my opinion and the facts that I observed about the song. My facts were a) that there was constantly either a low hum of voices in the background or harmony with many different voices and b) that the song seemed to be in 4/4 time (though I could be wrong about that) and that the tempo was somewhere around moderato. As far as my opinion goes, I didn't dislike the song, but I didn't particularly like it either. The tone was very eccentric, and not exactly my genre; it sounded almost hypnotic, and extremely thought-provoking. My opinion about the song, however, seemed rather unchanged by the constant voices and the time signature and tempo; it relied more on the mood and genre of the music.
