Just like regular fabrics, there are lines of fabrics that some just love, and others say, what on earth would you do with that?
Look for a different brand/line/designer of batiks. Some lines have lots of smaller all over print/designs, or the smoooshes ans smudge styles. Whereas there are some that have been coming out with the larger patterns like what you found. Likewise, some have bright multi-colours, whereas some are very tonal and drab-like.
