If it's considered 'close-minded' to not like a song based on a 45 sec clip, then it's also close-minded to love a song based on a 45 sec clip.
No, it's close-minded to already make up your mind about a song based on 45 seconds. If you go in saying "pretty sure I'm not going to like it", then the fact is you probably aren't, but it's because you never gave it a chance.
If you "love" the 45 second clip but then when you hear the whole song and it doesn't exactly do it for you, so be it... But you didn't go in with an already established mindset. Now on the other hand if you've built this song up to be the best song ever based on a 45 sec clip then you are preparing yourself for a similar crash.
Given that this is a 5 minute song, 45 seconds probably doesn't do it justice, it can go to a lot of different places. If you played me only the first 45 seconds of 'All I Want Is You', I probably wouldn't be that impressed. But as it turns out, I love that song.
