That albums is ok; the "noise" is not random noise, is a part of the overall layout of that album. In fact, ther are times in wich I wonder ¿what would happen if they one day decide to just work with those abstract compositions, and leave melodic tonal composition aside?... I would definitively go for that...

I really like Frances -- but maybe, just maybe there are a couple of points at which they should cut the noise down just a bit...

That is a crapload of extrapolation that, IMO, is shaky at best.
You still haven't explained how that line makes any sense whatsoever.

That's a lot of extrapolation from very few sources that I find to be shaky at best.

It doesn't have to make literal sense, but it bothers me when it sounds like the lyricist is just picking random words, because it sounds like he's being incredibly lazy. I also don't like lots of symbols and things like that because I seem to be really bad at interpreting them since I take lots of things literally. For example, the line "You radiate cold shafts of broken glass." on Pigs 3 Different Ones confused me; what the hell is a shaft of broken glass? Eventually someone sort of explained it and I figured it out, but maybe that will help you understand why these things bother me so much.

^ Aha! See, I personally LOVE that line. It leads my imagination to run wild. Some people's brains are just wired differently. You must be more "left brained" than I, or more "bothered" by a lack of logic.

You're probably better at math than I am, though!
