In Reply to: Someone help me. I really don't understand the appeal of this recording. posted by Dalton on March 16, 2007 at 11:37:56:
and in fact, by some, against rock in general.Average musicianship, banal lyrics. The musicianship is perfectly appropriate to the style of music. Banal lyrics? Well, perhaps compared to the Duino Elegies, but there are certainly many (or most)rock lyrics that are more banal than those here.
Banality of lyrics- I've seen clips where Steve Allen mockingly read the lyrics of rock and roll songs of the 50s to show how vapid they were. But that missed the whole point really.
There are some nice melodies here. That's what probably draws people more than anything else. I find the recording to be very clean.
Now this has been overplayed to death and I can really not listen to it anymore. But I think it's pretty good.
