Showing Kanye that drug abuse and a sudden shift to nazism is NO excuse for your musical talents to plummet. How can one be in a cocaine-fueled fugue state and still write a song like Word On A Wing?? Bowie wasn't human.
when I'm in a Make Every Song On My Album A Minute Too Long contest and my opponent is paul mccartney in 1973
Most of all an album about endurance. About being stuck in situations, feelings, and places in life without sensing any hope of escaping. How long must we endure? Forever?
It's a very fitting theme for a band that will probably forever be reminded of the work they made beforehand. It makes me sad. People are missing out on beautiful music.
For me the definitive way to experience Smile. As children we know what we need in life to be happy, and still we spend most of our adulthood trying to relearn what has already always been in front of us. The squeaky-clean, beautiful production of this version of Smile portrays that feeling perfectly. It's a trip of an album that should be experienced on your best audio system.
