That's one thing about DT albums for me is because of their length they take two or three listens before I really start recognizing the songs.
|
True that. Also, I get bored halfway through the albums and start reading instead of paying attention.

Basically my taste for classical music goes thus:

That's a good philosophy.

I like Tchaikov"sky, but I only know his greatest hits.
I also like what I have heard from Prokofiev but that is only a couple of songs.

Black Clouds and Silver Linings actually impressed me a whole lot when I listened to it yesterday, same with Octahedron!

BC and SL will end up being 5 stars for me, so I much prefer it to Octahedron.

Thanks. I wrote up the bio last night...it's hard to do that without sounding pretentious anyway (especially using third person).

A bio?

Well...an auto-bio.

Writing your memoirs already?

Haha, I can understand that.
I personally love most of DT to death though. Debut, FII, and ACOS are the only things that suck, IMO.

you and your modern sh*t, you just like everything that's new, eh? Get over the hype and we'll see if you feel the same the next time a DT album comes out, you'll be going "it's the 2nd best DT ever! BC&SL is 6th now"

That doesn't work because 6D and SFAM are my top 2. If SC and Octavarium were my top 2, then maybe. Nice try.

Watching four tennis matches at the same time online = masterliness.

Oi, Scott!! Yeah, but it's mostly because I have a day off and I'm too lazy to do the dishes but since I want to listen to BC&SL again on my good stereo, I'm going to go do that now.

Ooh. Do you hire out? My dishes need to get done too. All this hot weather is causing an unsavory stench from the bachelor stack in the sink.

Tick Tock being one of the best progressive rock albums ever = funniest idea of this year.
That being said, the album's very nice.
