if that's what you wanna label me then w/e, animals is the only album on that list which other people's recommendations got me into it

I mean, if you seriously enjoy those, that's great (I personally love Animals) and I totally endorse that. It just seems that people LIKE certain albums just to be part of a social scene. My roommate (and bandmate...gawd) jerk off in my face about Aeroplane, which frankly I think is a load of crap. Whether or not you're trying to assimilate other people's opinions is your business, but those choices make it look as such. So, even if you're not a hipster, it still looks it.

You get my drift?

- he's extremely versatile. The soundtrack for VIII is also also doing alot, they never released any of them in the UK but blogsearch was my saviour.

You is my new favorite member. Uematsu is a genuinely astounding composer. "Aeris' Theme" may be the prettiest song ever. Shame he had to retire. They actually re-released part of the OST as part of a Reunion/Piano set, and it's simply superb.

well outside of music banter, i take quite a bit of criticism for my opinions... most of my friends are metal heads or people who dismiss anything that's not classic rock as crap. If i wanted to fit in with the social groups that i come in contact with then i'd be hailing zeppelin as the greatest thing to ever grace this earth. My last concern on this board is what people think of me or what they lable me as... i came to this board to further my knowledge of music, not to try and look "cool" to people that have no bearing on my life. so if enjoying those albums makes me look like a "hipster," i really don't care

thats actually the song that made me buy the album. What you begin to discover is while that song never really looses any luster, other songs tend to get better every listen. Tracks 7 & 8; "Excuse You" and "Vulture Shark Sculpture Park" (respectivly) are some of the best things on the disc.

The latter has one of the best Flute Loops since the Beastie Boys "sure shot" and the assanines are kind of awesome.

With regard to "excuse you," that song sets such a mood that its nearly inmpossible of being disliked.

The songs actually share a rhyme, which I found entertaining because he has them back to back and clearly did so intentnionally, but the line is something like "a very goth towel, a terry cloth cowl, "he said 'I, hairy moth owl.'"

It likely looks stupid, but to hear it in context is nothing short of amazing.

Same here. People on this website often forget what a minority people who are that open minded about music are. Most people my age (20) that I know that are "into music" just listen to classic rock and metal.
