I find it bizarre and pretty hard to believe that listening to the beach clips ruined HTDAAB for you. Don't you think it was because you just didn't like the songs?
No. They did.
When I heard the beach clips (which weren't exactly very clear) I kind of filled in the gaps of sound that I couldn't hear with my own expectations of what they would sound like. I got really excited for some of the songs, but was actually quite dissapointed when I heard the final product. It took me along time to kind of get over the fact that my initial impressions of the songs wasn't what was on the final album. I actually kind of imagined the songs being different from what they eventually were.
I'm not sure if I'm explaining it clearly, but trust me....it didn't help. I'm not the only one. Plenty of people said the same thing when the album was released.
