Bands prog fans generally like but you don't

well you might like it......i just think its not very good.......just doesn't do it for me.....the last few albums weren't that great by him.........and i do like Bowie......but more Pre - 1980........just the way some radio stations have been harping on about it the last few weeks it sounded to them like it was amazing.....and its not.....its just average.....and i have heard the whole album twice as i got spotify.....and after those listens nothing stood out at all......so like i say......not rushing out to buy a physical copy.....way much more better stuff out there at the mo.

Oh yeah sure, we're all deluding ourselves because we're irrational Bowie fans who secretly hate the album but won't admit it because we refuse to find any fault with what is clearly our personal god.

...or maybe we genuinely like it?

Judging only from Bowies single, which is  a snoozefest of the highest order, I won't be bothering with it.

It's the only song on the album of that style. The rest is much more rock-oriented.

Yeah I know man, I was just pulling your leg

The Tubular Bells, wind chimes?? I love those. Masculine?(Have you heard Cygnus-X 1) that sh*t unnerves me towards the end! What are you talking about here. Music can't have a sex gender

^^^ Well, Rush was probably the first band to do this in the hard rockI(d argue Heavy Metal)-Prog Rock context and I'm sorry it doesn't fit you. I wish we can all like the same bands but I guess that's not always the case. I believe you are probably talking about those percussive instruments Neil hits(I believe they're called woodblocks or temple blocks,etc). And yes, Alex does play some unusual chord progressions but that's what I love about them. Guitar heavy(at times) and yet still Proggy enough

Awwwww, what seems to be the problem, Are you too cool for Geddy Lee's high pitched vocals No, the voice is the least of my concerns. Some aspects of the music itself leave me rather cold.

Like what? Can you elaborate, there's plenty of feel from Alex, the backbone is very solid!
