Yeah yeah sometimes I'm a negative f*ck, a judgmental piece of shit and have a dislike for almost everything, occasionally life doesn't feel so great ... big deal ... the soft, delicate moments of Portishead's Dummy can remind you of what's really on your mind ... the sound of a bout with existentialism!
The all over the place, uneven, seems like it should have been a double LP but one popped out! Both Harvest and Diamond Dogs have that feel ... while Neil Young's turned out mega awesome, and unquestionable, Bowie's is aweful with brief moments of glam and the 'to be' plastic soul. Point is you can hear the artists tumultuous states in the sound of the songs, and you feel the missing tracks between each number.
In a complete state of melancholy, a kind of loneliness laced with a sence of belonging, I was wracking my brain for a suitable sound for my mellow misery ... the Beach Boys's album 20/20, a mostly soft and minimal record, complimented exactly how I was feeling ... man, Brian Wilson knows exactly how to touch our most basic emotions.
