Of late, I've been listening solely to Bob Dylan, chronilogically. And I don't dislike it.
Yes sorry you are correct. The music is so anthemic that it seemed like patriotic pap. I should have given him more credit as there are music and lyrics by him that I love. But I stand by not liking the way it sounds. I will not be so quick to judge before fully understanding a song again. A bit embarrassing actually.
While most metal music is not mixed/mastered in a way that's pleasing to my audiophile/audiophool expectations, claiming that it's just noise goes to far. Metal has many subgenres that may seem like that when you first hear them, it just takes some time getting used to because they are almost never played on FM radio etc. There are also many intersections with other established genres. Let's take this classical song for example which clearly inspired a beautiful metal rendition (although they claim it noise on the cover, too ).Metal music has the same problem, but at also missing a melody = just noise.
The ironic thing is not the lyric but the delivery, it’s sung in a very bombastic way , a parody of sort .
It’s a part of whole record , it’s popularity is a bit absurd so I get why you would not like it ( I don’t like this Bruce song either, I like the ghost of Tom Joad or the river ) .
It’s overplayed and miss understood as no one give a second thought about the lyrics . And it’s get tiring in it simplicity.
It’s almost a s bad as sport anthems ?
“We are the champions” any one
McTongue-in-Cheek goes McNasty, but who am I to tell you to NOT do you?Sorry, my comment was tongue-in-cheek, no need to get all defensive and submit your resumé
May I?Any genres in here that haven't been given a blanket "yuck" yet?
I used to like some sax-ophone, until such similar sentiments started me questioning it.Wailing saxophones
I´m very fine being an audiophobe. As I´m writting this post, I have some Axis of Perdition playing; that is indeed a lot of noise.While most metal music is not mixed/mastered in a way that's pleasing to my audiophile/audiophool expectations, claiming that it's just noise goes to far.
