Quotez Can you mail me the melody of Substantial Damage, matxil? My copy arrived without one. Admittedly "melody" might not be the best choice of words. "The combination of rhytmic chanting of words with the instrumental harmonies" then? Oh well, I meant to say, I like it.

Maybe next week, next month, next year I will feel differently, but for the last 2 weeks, my feeling about this album is something like this: 1. Crosseyed Heart ==> FUNNY 2. Heartstopper ==> GOOD 3. Amnesia ==> GOOD 4. Robbed Blind ==> VERY GOOD 5. Trouble ==> GOOD 6. Love Overdue ==> OKAY 7. Nothing On Me ==> OKAY 8. Suspicious ==> HIGHLIGHT 9. Blues in the Mor

I thought Christopher Ecclestone was a brilliant doctor and I also liked David Tennant. My favourite episode (and I actually think the best SF television ever, combining both the most clever use of time-travel-paradox and low-budget-scary-alien) was of course Blink.

"Dirty Work". After hearing "One Hit" I expected the album to be great, which turned out to be a very embarrassing experience. The first time I put the album on, I stopped after listening to "Hold Back". And Mick with "Let's Work", I first heard it on MTV at the house of a friend and I begged him to switch channels.

Quote24FPS QuoteHMS The Stones-version of LARS is excellent, as good as it can get. Never thought they could handle this wordy Bob-tune as good as they did.

QuoteDoxa I think there is a crucial difference between CROSSEYED HEART and Keith's earlier albums. If anyone, like me, finds MAIN OFFENDER and to and extent TALK IS CHEAP a bit boring, and more like a showcase of a 'riffmaster' showing what is famous for, by the expense of good song-writing, the new album is more done from a song-writers point of view. The songs sound more like

From the Stones, I would mention "the big four" + Aftermath + "the big two" (SG, TY), but I am not really sure all songs are really masterpieces. Hard to define that word, I find.

QuoteMel Belli Yup. I thought the same thing, but in a different spot. The "what have you done to me?" lick is exactly the same (note-wise and rhythmically) as "so empty without you." Every ballad on this record uses the same basic color palette: Aminor, C, G, E, and F. I don't mean this as a knock. I like every single one of those tunes. Yes, you're right.

Probably completely off the mark, but "confused weather", you could interprete as rain + sun = rainbow... I don't see how "She's a Rainbow" or "Blinded By Rainbows" could fit, but maybe there are some song-lines with rainbows in it?
