One person's filler is another person's treasure. Case in point, Winter. It is adored by many, including myself. Go call it filler over on the MT thread and you might lose your own...
Winter? my favorite song on the album, I have no idea where you came up with that one.Quote

Break The Spell - trying to seperate any filler from the just weak on these later albums is more than I can manageQuote

part of the definition of "filler" should be that someone somewhere will strongly argue that it's not.

Does anyone else think that too many people nowadays misunderstand what the word Filler means on an album?
It seems like if someone doesn't care for a song they count it as filler. That is not filler.
Filler songs are actually intended to be as such by the artist.
Filler are songs that a band just rushes through without any real dedication or inspiration, just to meet a deadline for an albums release, or to quickly capitalize on a hit or to literally fill up space, hence the word Filler.
Filler does not mean songs you don't like
It's easy to tell the difference. Even if there are songs that someone may not care for, if you listen you can tell if it was intended as filler.

I have been meaning to make this point for a while... and this is the right place...
I have been listening to Goats Head Soup since around 1974 (I wasn't a Rolling Stones fan yet, when it was first released)
The song I liked the least was Coming Down Again... BORING, BORING, BORING... I didn't even realized that it was Keith singing.
.
Fast forward a few decades.... It is my favorite on the album. It would be stupid to say that it is one of my favorite Stones songs... but it is, along with around 300 others!
The point is, I am beginning to think that Jagger/Richards know a lot more about music than even we give them credit for... Coming Dpwn Again... I love it!
Winter? I never DIDN'T LIKE THAT ONE! CAPISCE?

Why people can't objectively hear filler on EXILE is beyond me.

Because I love every song, is why. It's not an objective concept.

Loving every song is not being objective ie critical,.
