Quote (Bassman @ May 09 2008, 00:41) | The discussion is "What's your favorite Millenium Bell track?", and if you have nothing positive to contribute, then expressing your dislike of it only serves to subvert the purpose of the thread, and minimizes the feelings of others. |
The proposition of the thread doesn't specify positive feelings; it asks for the favourite track, and I did name my favourite track. As for minimising the feelings of others, well, in that case, this thread minimises my feelings - and there's plenty of negativity expressed on the threads of albums I like, e.g. Heaven's Open, Tubular Bells, Amarok, which minimise my feelings as well. But if I were to get upset by that, I'd go nuts...
Quote | Guess you don't like it much then. But really, the "worst thing ever"? Do you prefer Maggie on Amarok? How about the spoken voice in To Be Free? Is it the fact that it is spoken, the words spoken or the processed voice that grates for you? |
Maggie Thatcher: humourous, and totally consonant with the mood of the album. I personally love it. Speech in To Be Free: cheesy, but not offensive, and I'm not a big fan of the song anyway. Speech in Sunlight Shining Through Cloud: physically irritating, and, in my opinion, does not deliver what the song originally intended; whatever Mike wanted it to sound like, Pepsi sounds like she's about to throw up. And that goes for the singing as well.
As for the positive side of the album, to be honest, I think the "not bad" songs are so nondescript that they end up making things worse. But I don't have anything directly against Liberation and Amber Light.
