Interesting.
I would make two observations:
1) One should be able to say of a piece of music, "This is very good but I don't like it", and conversely, "I love this, but it's dreadful".
2) There is a real difficulty in evaluating unfamiliar music is distinguishing between a bad composition and a bad performance. Obviously, none of the critics at the premiere of Rachmaninoff's 1st symphony could do this, and the course of music history might have been different if they could have.

One way I listen studiously to new music is to listen to the overall composition, then go back and listen to the "edges" of the music where it seems I can better hear such things as counterpoint more clearly.
