do you think it's a bit unfair to artists that we go so nuts at any considerable change in musical direction
the horrors being a recent example
i mean....there are always interesting things to be said about development etc etc............
must most of it seems to decsend into.....'OMG.....so different....how does this happen...how does this get so different...how does difference happen'
y'know....?.....
like....i'm reading a book of tom waits interviews....and to hear him talk about his albums....the change in style just seemed like a natural progression...when you hear his thoughts...
but if you just went from small change or summit to bone machine..........you'd just be all.....'whoah.....what is he DOING'
i dunno. i think my point is.....we need to just become hipper to the fact that many artists don't want to make the same album over and again...and we shouldn't always look at drastic developments as an almost narcissistic attempt to see what they can turn their pretty hand to next
babble over.
