Nah, don't apologize.  Most people don't deserve it.  ;-)

And just for the record, I'm extending Godwin's Law for this list to include
the words "puerile" and "ad hominem" as well as "gestapo", "nazi", and
"Hitler"

I think you just have to be mature enough in your music appreciation to
realize that just because you love an album, it's not flawless.  Don't stop
loving the album, just look at it at least semi-objectively, and recognize
that it has flaws.  I love a great many albums that are deeply flawed.  Like
_Tales From Topographic Oceans_.
