If the reasons for your enjoyment are explained to you, it certainly can diminish the enjoyment. The status explanation might have different effects on different people. I've enjoyed certain forms of humor less after understanding the status explanations. You feel like you've processed that explanation, and still enjoy the music, and therefore the explanation has no effect on your enjoyment. This argument reduces to 'I enjoy it therefore I enjoy it', it has little implication on the role of explanations.
edit: Incidentally I have the album as well.. I think I was generally disappointed with it in comparison to the others, but still like it. The percussion waves in feral stick out for me. Kid A is my favorite.
Right. I agree that this happens, but that's a fact about human psychology, as opposed to, say, decision theory or probability theory. There's no good reason that we should want it to happen this way.
And yeah, it wasn't a particularly deep post :)
