it's kind of...ott. and yeh that's the point but it does fit with the cool/mellow/righteous funk vibe of the rest of the lp.
― Frogman Henry, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:28 (sixteen years ago) link
it doesn't fit...
so for an album that has tracks that are cool, mellow, and righteous, a track thats a bit dramatic (but lyrically, still righteous) cant fit? weird.

hey its just an opinion. i find its melodrama out of place on this record. seems like a precursor to songs in the key.
― Frogman Henry, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:56 (sixteen years ago) link
whats melodramatic on songs in the key? anyway, stevie was doing melodrama (although i wouldnt put the melo in there cos the drama is very intense IMO) on talking book - songs like you and i, etc. i really adore his intensely dramatic ballads... (just my opinion of course so...)

i also voted for city, but "jesus children" deserved at least ONE vote...

Yeah, well all the songs on this album deserve at least one vote.

If ever a song proved "stevie ballad" =/= good, that song would be "Joy Inside My Tears."

"Joy Inside My Tears" is an excellent example. May be the best song on the entire double.

joy inside my tears is a brilliant song. not the best on there though. that might be another star.

Do you guys like Zamboni Muzak or something?

The only thing I like about that song is how the bassline sounds like it's trying to wrench itself free from the song about 10 seconds in.

I can't believe Geir doesn't like "Ebony Eyes"! That always sounded like a classic Tin Pan Allen melody to me.

WTF? Tin Pan ALLEY!

Didn't Tin Pan Allen give Pamela Anderson her start as a Tool Time Girl?

I can't believe Geir, of all people, doesn't like "Saturn."

"Zamboni Muzak" = name of my new prog-crunk band.

'visions' would be good on a mix w/ sth from 'meat puppets ii'

The most incorrect things I've ever posted on ILM, right there.

Seeing him perform it live (and tear the house down) helped me see the light.
