You Could Feel the Sky is one of my least favourites, the packing-polystyrene-into-a-cardboard-box-and-taping-it-shut beat is much less interesting than the beats on Music is Math, Sunshine Recorder, Alpha and Omega etc

may well be the case, just consider it one of the least pretty or transportative tracks here

'pretty' is not the word i would use to describe much of this album, nor do i think it is anywhere near the intention of the album. non the less, no, indeed it is not 'pretty', not that that is the aim of it at all. disagreed about being 'transportative' (thats not a word but we'll roll with it) though, maybe because to me it sounds and feels like trees falling down in the forest and not removing packing tape or whatever you said (lol) and that i think the visuals connected to the concept (the title is an allusion to the symbolism behind baphomets horns) are brilliant. its so eerie and perfect at painting its image, id argue it is the most transportive (thats the word you were looking for i think)

interesting analysis, yes transportive was the word I was looking for



and I did not mean pretty as in 'floral', I meant pretty as in 'filled with gorgeous sounds and textures'. as somebody who experiences synesthesia the sounds and rhythms of this album translate into incredibly vivid shapes, patterns and colours in my head, with You Could Feel the Sky being one of the weaker tracks in this regard. I find the beat on that song to have less of a causal relationship with the sounds going on around it, and don't find my attention held by the evolution of the track in the same manner as, well, just about any other song here



sorry if I'm being howlingly pretentious BoC is just a band whose music I pay particularly close attention to

and its fine, clearly i pay pretty close attention too, this album in particular of theirs. all the intricacies they did with the
concept stemming into each song to the point of subliminality blows my mind and i especially relate to that particular
tracks theme due to personal experience with it but fuck this is probably my second favourite album ever so fuck

some of my favourite albums too :] all about dat aesthetic bliss



I think that's actually why I unfairly judge You Could Feel the Sky and Man Next Door, as those are the songs on their respective albums which I personally feel are the odd ones out



like they ever-so-slightly divert from the aesthetic of the rest of the album, making that album a 99/100 instead of a perfect score



again, imo af

i think they both complement their respective albums. that being said you could feel the sky (while i still think is fitting) is easily the darkest song on this album, and as for man next door, a lot of people can't vibe with that track out of everything there and i think its just a matter of horace andy being a love it or hate it kind of singer.

I don't think Man Next Door feels detached at all from the rest of Mezz really.
