I wasn't speaking for anyone in particular. I was just offering an opinion based on years and years of being a part of this forum and seeing people's opinions change over time. Their initial favorites (albums, songs) become their least favorites later on in time.

I guess I shouldn't have used the word "bored". I should've used the words "overly critical", as in after a lot of us hear the album front to back, back to front after a long period of time, we start to analyze, and pick things apart...again, going by reading posts from a lot of us, and noticing changing opinions. I too have never gotten bored with any of Stevie records, just disenchanted with certain songs and certain albums. Stevie's music is a lot of things, but never boring.

For me, personally, her music is cyclical. It comes in phases for me. A couple of years ago, I went through a huge RAL phase and listened to nothing but for a very long time. I'm going through an OSOTM phase right now, and enjoying having those songs back in my life. Songs that I hated in years past are now becoming my favorite, as I can truly understand where she was in her life in that time and how it now relates to my own circumstances as I get older. Whereas I couldn't relate to some songs when I was 16 years old, or even 25.
