Not all of us can be cool.

Telling songs apart when you hear them live is like "oh it's blackened!...no, wait, that's frayed end of...is it? Ah **** it's harvester of sorrow." It lost to Jethro Tull at the Grammys, it will forever sound compressed to hell.
The one metric HoS wins on, over SBT is the B-side. The B-side for HoS is "Breadfan" and which is much better than [ Checks wikipedia] "Harvester of Sorrow." (and somehow like, 4 other songs?) |
Yeah none of that makes me give a ****. What I give a **** about is the intense staccato rhythm of "Harvester of Sorrow" while I could give less than a **** about the bland groove of "Sad but True".
