ya me too. however, It's also pretty unhealthy to just listen to everything with a musical viewpoint. If you try and dissect Sing the Sorrow from every single musical standpoint, you'll be pretty disappointed.



I guess it all depends on personal taste.

Probably why I abhor Sing the Sorrow, no?

i agree with you there. i think i can speak for caleb when i say i was only giving an example of a band/album that i can listen to in musical mode only. certainly, we all have an emotional connection with several other bands/albums.

you say this, yet you have cities rated as a 5? I'd say you would have to listen to that with a pretty emotional mindset to enjoy it.



EDIT: I guess I understand that Bloc. However, I think you guys are over exaggerating litsos' musical superiority to DTGL. Sure its more refined, but it isn't that much farther ahead technically.

I don't see how you really seperate the two. To me, great music generally sparks the greatest emotional reaction in me. Even when I listen to something like Dream Theater, I usually end up going back to the songs that are the most emotionally intense.

myhigherpie: i didn't want to imply that there was any technical difference between the two, as they are exactly the same. i also feel like the emotional impact is the same on both records.

rotterdog: it all depends on the band; my example of necrophagist having little emotion still stands but that does not mean any band that plays fast or growls has no emotion.

It's true, I have a ridiculously huge emotional connection to that album. However, I don't have one with Define the Great Line. It's all contextual, there's no way to predict that sort of thing and DtGL didn't click with me as it did most people.

YOU'VE LISTENED TO A PLEA FOR PURGING 173 TIMES YOUR OPINION IS INVALID!!!



Seriously though I get what you're saying. Even though I have more of a connection with DtGL, I still think it's a more solid album from a musical standpoint. There are a few rare occasions that have cropped up in this album where the longer atmospheric sections kind of miss the mark to me just a wee bit, and when I listen to it in full, somewhere in the midst of the three tracks between The Only Survivor... and Desperate Times... I just kind of space out for a bit.

But I listen to this with my emotional brain and I still like it far better. I find this one far more atmospheric and consistant as an album, with it's themes etc. I dunno, I find this one so much more passionate and affecting.
