I've always loved Can You Hear The Music. Hell, I've always loved Goats Head Soup. It really is a fantastic album. Hazy - yes indeed - I like it. What were they gonna do, make another Exile? It got even hazier with IORR, which is hilarious. As technology improved their albums, overall, started sounding worse! Compare IORR to Sticky Fingers - HUGE difference. But I like it. Coming Down Again and Can You Hear The Music are fantastic examples of that sonic quality that is so far away from Bleed/Fingers.

Doxa - how does one "re-listen" again and again? It's simply - and only - listening! You listen every time you're listening. Regardless, I listen to GHS a lot!

It's great as are nearly all of the tracks on this underrated album.
Imagine if GHS had never been released but did come out this year.
It would sound even better after the mainly-crap ABB.

"what's the point of your last paragraph? I like both of those songs, but what does that have to do with this one?"
How about I lead you to the water and drink it for you then?
My point is is that we all have different tastes and opinions ie I don't like this song that some seem to but like two others that regularly cop a bagging around here.
Hope this clarification allays your intense curiosity.

If one wants to line this one up against Continental Drift, it's easy - CYHTM blows CD away.
They have CYHTM and then on IORR If You Really Want To Be My Friend, another long slow song. I like that they did two in a row like that. The next one could have come out on Black And Blue but it was kept until Tattoo You - Worried About You. They haven't done one since.

I think the sound quality of IORR is an improvement over GHS. Its not as good as the sound quality of Black N Blue but its much more clear and less murky than GHS to my hears. That being said, I still would rather listen to GHS than IORR. The murky sound is part of what makes it cool.
