Worshiping canon artists is habit.

Sgt. Pepper isn't bad. Just like most Beatles albums, it's filled with throwaway.

This forum is catching bad taste like it's a plague.

Fear Of Music is so much superior to that album.

I Zimbra doesnt have world music elements?

I don't find it that repetitive, it's not any more repetitive than the last album, but you know, it is funk inspired music, have you heard most funk music? It's purposely repetitive, going on and on without much variation. That's a trait of the genre. When done right that repetition serves to give the music a hypnotic quality, and that totally works with Remain in Light.

Oh and aren't you a drone fan?

Yeah but it's only one song through and even then it's pretty minimal.

Yes, yes I am.

Like I said, I do like repetition when the melodies/rhythms/etc. are WORTHY of being repeated for a long time. Remain in Light seems devoid of worthiness. I know that repetition can lead to hypnotism and extreme interest, but that is not at all how I see the album.

Talking Heads have never been a band short on great melodies and hooks and Remain in Light is no exception, I love it's experimentation and Belew's guitar work, I consider it their best but I can understand why people prefer their first 3 albums. I don't think it's overly repetitive, 4 and 5 minutes isn't really long so I don't see how it's too repetitive. All rock music is repetitive by nature.

Well, Remain in Light is going to encourage me to delve into their other stuff, because I did see a lot of potential for greatness, even if it wasn't inherently in that particular album.

Having looked through your RYM ratings, I have to say I have never disagreed with someone's taste as much as I do yours. <_<

Because when something revolutionizes another thing, it can't be overrated.

LoL yes exactly!

Then why bother.

I really DGAF if you think The Beatles suck. That's cool and all. But saying they're overrated? Nah.

I think DragonForce are awesome. I don't care what people say. They're not meant to be taken seriously. They have epic, uber-catchy melodies. Lulz-worthy, but oh so cheesily epic lyrics. They incorporate video game sound effects in their music for crying out loud. What's there not to love?

[/QUOTE]
Well, so far all of their fans that I've seen write use words like "uber" without known what they mean and say "lulz" a lot. They overuse the word "epic" as well.

Oh, and they don't have any sort of hook, throwaway lyrics, and think incorporating video game sound effects with horrible music is a good idea.
