<human>: This probably is the most miniscule thing on this subreddit, but I kinda wanted to get this out somewhere. (Throwaway because I don't want friends harping me on this) Its weird. Whenever I want to start getting into a band I always look up the professional critics' scores and go by that for which albums to get into. Any album that they rated mediocre or even "good, not great" I feel weird about listening to it, like I shouldn't be.  This isn't something major but its been bugging me for a while. Like recently, one of my favorite bands new albums just leaked, and I have been listening to it like crazy. I love it, but I know that if the critics downscore it, It'll tarnish my view of that album. Is this weird? It makes me feel like a pretentious music snob.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: If any music gets mediocre scores from music press I feel weird about listening to it, even if I like it. Kind of bugs me.
