Quote (Trinidad @ Oct. 19 2005, 04:50) | Well, it's true that there's a lot music that you like after some listenings. It has happened to me with Mike with many albums, specially TB, HR, Ommadawn (with a superb 3rd listening), Amarok, etc., but they were albums that, although I didn't like them at first, really attracted my attention, they had something different and notable in them. But I cannot find that in the new album. So far, I can just hear simple melodies, simple instrumentation, many superficial (and yes, banal) adorments, and the sensation of having heard almost all the music before.
Maybe I'll not dislike it after some listenings, but... will I like it or will I get used to it?
Of course this is very different for others. But I think that I would feel the same sensation if I liked it: I'm sure he can do something much more ellaborated with the same ideas, and probably I would dislike it as well. There are other albums from him that I think are better than L&S and I dislike much more, and others worse that I like. But at least I would have the sensation that he's going in a direction I like, just the opposite as now. But, as I've said, other people have different feelings, and I absolutly respect that (I think it's stupid to rant and rave about other people's tastes), and I want the same respect. |
Trinidad, you're a wise man! I totally agree with you....
