Albums that completely lack feeling.
I was talking to my cousin a few days ago about the band Evanescence. I had bought their new "Open Door" album and it was quite catchy and I knew she enjoyed music like that.
After she listened to it, she said she didn't like it. Which was surprising since that is 'her' type of music. I asked her why and she said the album completely lacked feeling. She isn't a big music critic either, but I thought about it and listened to the album again and felt exactly the same way she described, it was just really empty. There were many catchy and good songs don't get me wrong, but there was nothing there that made me feel anything. Sadness/aggression/depression/happiness ect. I just sat there going 'yeah, that sounds pretty good' 'thats going to get stuck in my head after this is done'. It just didn't draw anything from me at all.
So I ask, how many albums have you listened to that just didn't get any emotion going through you?
Another album for me that didn't get any real emotion was Metallica "Black" album. It didn't pull anything out of me and I always just sat there bored most of the time listening to it. St Anger pulled more emotion out of me than the black album, enough emotion to almost make me cry after it was over because it was just so horrible and my ears would probably never forgive me.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
Take this keycard, you can unlock the doors in the hall with this. Now GO!...JUST go! A hero that lived long enough to see himself become the villain.
