But on disc 1 I find myself always skipping the first two tracks, and track 19. The songs I'm sure appeal to some, and they obviously work with the theme, but they just seem weak to me. Or maybe I just wanna rock, and they seem too laid back. I just feel like 'Your Long Year' is the real start. I usually skip that one. quote: The other thing that's somewhat annoying is the obvious background static noise at various places, such as end of 'over her shoulder' / start of 'staggering gods', and start of 'Joel'. I'm assuming this is not a quality control problem, so I guess I just don't get it. I always thought it was the fireplace. Yup. Its a concept album, everything is there for a reason. Its like questioning the clapping noises on Sgt Pepper, or skipping Billy Shears. __________________ "Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence." ~ Robert Frost 09-24-2008 14:54 Dr Rich Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 9,986 Location: Hoverkrafti im është plot me ngjala.

This thread sucks! __________________ 09-24-2008 16:07 PuP Moderator Registration Date: 07-09-2003 Posts: 11,774 Location: The DAmb Home for Wayward Sons and Fragile Daughters RE: Fly-by        quote: Originally posted by joey quote: Originally posted by PuP quote: Originally posted by John Foxe But on disc 1 I find myself always skipping the first two tracks...

I read "skip first two tracks" and didn't pay attention to the "Your Long Year" part. "AOTS" is indeed awesome. __________________ "At times this board is a place of thought provoking discussions, but most often it resembles a not quite done Mexican taco." - Jevon the Tall 09-24-2008 22:05 John Foxe Woolly Eggwhisk Registration Date: 03-12-2002 Posts: 654 Location: Elkhart, Indiana Thread Starter My mistake        Author of the Story is what I should have said, sorry. On the static, you might be right, but it's more than just a fireplace, though. In at least one spot it sounds like a radio in the background. I could understand if it's a little Vin Skully in Bakersfield, but I don't think so... __________________ I'm a middle-aged hitchhiker...

I didn't read the premise on the start of this thread-or who originated it- this will be my only visit on this one. I mean- its weird. mho Jim __________________ jiMinY theres nothing to EVER put here that will please everyone-let alone anyone. 09-24-2008 23:43 wes berlin Official Impasto Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 3,397 Location: "but today i feel that too much of the church is merely a thermometer, which measures rather than molds popular opinion" mlk 1965 i agree with jiminy. __________________ "Exorcising Ghosts" 09-25-2008 02:49 Dr Rich Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 9,986 Location: Hoverkrafti im është plot me ngjala. Hear hear! I love MBD. I love every thing about it. To me all the weird noises, and whatever else, [I fits.[/I] I cannot name 5 least favorite anything. The album is one piece that sort of builds on itself. Kinda like some of Wilco's records, or Blonde on Blonde, or the White Album. If you don't "get it" I can't help you. __________________ 09-25-2008 05:56 John Foxe Woolly Eggwhisk Registration Date: 03-12-2002 Posts: 654 Location: Elkhart, Indiana Thread Starter Well, it was the flip side        I was the starter of the thread; I meant it as a flip side to the '5 best' thread. I love MBD, it is my favorite DA recording. Heck, it's in my car, I was listening to disc 1 on the way to work today. But every recording has it's favorite and least favorite moments, wouldn't you say? __________________ I'm a middle-aged hitchhiker... LetsSpin@comcast.net 09-25-2008 08:11 77'sRule!

I'd say yes. There are some songs on this album I trudge thru. With each listen, though, it's usually different songs, if that makes any sense. To put it a different way, some songs I'm tempted to skip, but on another listen those songs may be the ones I turn up the volume for. I guess it depends on my mood. I'd say the last three or four songs on disc one and the first two songs on disc two may be the weakest, but, then again, sometimes those are the ones I like most. I hope I'm not to confussing. 09-25-2008 10:44 jiminy Tallowy Tamale Registration Date: 11-16-2002 Posts: 9,494 i lied - and came back I wasnt trying to dis anyone - n do understand that MBD is a banquet-some like the fruitplate- some like to carve. Top n Bottom are better terms than Best or worst. Im done. __________________ jiMinY theres nothing to EVER put here that will please everyone-let alone anyone. 09-25-2008 10:57 PuP Moderator Registration Date: 07-09-2003 Posts: 11,774 Location: The DAmb Home for Wayward Sons and Fragile Daughters quote: Originally posted by 77'sRule! quote: But every recording has it's favorite and least favorite moments, wouldn't you say?

I agree. I can actually extend it to the entire DA catalog. Sometimes I get an itch for a DA album and sometimes I have no desire to listen to that same album for months. The great thing about DA is that, whatever my mood, there is a DA song for it (or SE, or LD, or TST)! __________________ "At times this board is a place of thought provoking discussions, but most often it resembles a not quite done Mexican taco." - Jevon the Tall 09-25-2008 12:19 wayneb Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 04-24-2002 Posts: 1,295 Location: New Zealand "One man's ceiling is another man's floor..." as some songwriter once said. __________________ "Don't Fight Your Own Liar..." www.smashthatcomputer.com 09-26-2008 04:29 joey Platyhelminth Registration Date: 01-08-2003 Posts: 7,231 Location: the biggest fans are often the biggest critics ... sometimes taken as complaining ... get used to it. :P - mountain fan quote: Originally posted by joey i usually listen to my one disc cd-r version of mbd....... yes, it cuts some songs out.... i don't remember which ones... and cuts out the annoying 15 minutes of silence between and so it goes and the yippy kayay ************ song.......... so sue me... __________________ facebook 11-16-2009 17:31 dennis Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 09-19-2002 Posts: 13,303 Location: In not-quite earth, in not-quite heaven. quote: Originally posted by joey quote: Originally posted by joey i usually listen to my one disc cd-r version of mbd....... yes, it cuts some songs out.... i don't remember which ones... and cuts out the annoying 15 minutes of silence between and so it goes and the yippy kayay ************ song.......... so sue me...
