Will have to give this a listen. Not being too familiar with their sound, I imagine in a dream that this new stuff, being my introduction, will be loved by me as much as the other is for you. We never forget our first crush. Funny how a new album from an old band becomes more difficult to integrate. How do artists grow when we continue to love their former cuteness? Is reinvention a requirement? Is irrelevance inevitable? Are our expectations getting the best of us?
So true. So incredibly true. The prior familiarity is inevitably a bad thing. I've often wondered if this exact phenomenon is why I basically only like entire discographies of bands that folded before I was born and can reliably graph my favorite albums by bands in correlation with the order I found them.Funny how a new album from an old band becomes more difficult to integrate.
