You have to listen to it at least five times before you can get it.

I was actually listening to Tales just a short while ago today. The thing about the album is, it has a lot of really great passages, which, if they had isolated them and put them into more digestible songs, and made it a regular album instead of a double album, it probably would have gone down as one of their top 3-4 albums. They could have made each album side 2-3 tracks and it would have been a hit.

You're right: there are good ideas but not developed, or stretched out too long or just jammed in alongside other, more sub-par stuff. It's too much to try to take in; also, it's something I have no interest in taking in because it really just seems incredibly indulgent, like they decided this is what we're doing and if you don't like it **** you. Arrogant.
