Depends on what honest opinion means. I'm tactful, mostly. Listening to a friend's stuff recently, I was genuinely impressed with the hi-hat sound, and the snare sounded great. Additional to that, I thought it was doing nothing but adding to the shitpile of shit that clouds all that is right and holy about music, but I didn't tell them that bit.
I try not to lie, and luckily most people are smart enough/ too stupid to realise that my talking about objective facts of recording are my way of saying I don't like things.
It's difficult though - obviously, I'm aware of the fact a lot of the time that whatever my opinion is doesn't make a band better or worse. I could hear the very best 4th-wave Grunge band years before anyone else, and I'd still think it was shit.
