I guess it depends how you define “good”. I actually think it is easier to
make good music. The thing that attracts me to music, that I need to make
it good, is emotional honesty. The rest can be pretty simple. And I find
that often. Lots of angst ridden dudes with their hearts to spill.

So perhaps we should shift the curve on music. Therefore a 72 would be merely average music and 85 would be good and 92 and above is great. Makes sense to me. Might be easier to make “pleasing” music but that doesn't make it good. Just means it's less offensive. But I agree with your point about just the act of reviewing something means it struck the reviewer at some level.

I noticed this too. But I believe you're right in that there is just so many new albums out than new movies; it requires a lot more work and money to make a film versus a record. So since there is so much music out there, reviewers need to be selective in what they review thus they usually pick “good” music. Films on the other hand only release 3-5 every few weeks so it is easier to review all of them, and many are bad. I think it is easier to make music these days than 10, 20, 30 years ago; anyone with a laptop running Reason and Pro Tools and a MIDI controller can make professionally music and sell their album on iTunes. That would've been unheard of in 1987. I'm sure there is also a lot of bad music out there, but we have so many tools to sift through that we don't discover it as much.
