My father took me to see him live when I was 11 on a school night, I remember not sleeping in the car, even though it was 1 AM because what I just experienced was incredible. The mix of awesome songs, plus incredible acoustic in the room we were in, made this the best nights of my life. Just goes to show how unbelievable this album is. It is to me, the culmination of music in every way. Every song is amazing, whether it be the raw intensity of Run, the peaceful Life, the haunting, hypnotizing nightmare that is Newton's Cradle, the tranquil melancholy of Waterways, the unstoppable courage that emanes from Experience, or the glorious, beautiful symphony of Burning.rNot only does this album feel insanely meaningful to me, I honestly think an achievement like this will ever be repeated.
