i've been thinking since reading all the posts about the new song, "the
ocean", and i've come to a realisation. everyone i've seen has made
comparisons, favorable or otherwise, to other sdre stuff. i know it's the
obvious thing to do of course. but maybe we should all try listening to it
as it's own thing, without saying "oh it sounds more like this album or that
album or this song" or whatever. i doubt seriously that sdre went into the
songwriting and recording process thinking "hey, let's make this song sound
more like diary/lp" or "let's make this sound more like hiftbso". i think
the song should be judged on its own merit as opposed to comparing it to
what sdre has already done. it isn't very fair to the band to hold it up
against what they've done before for comparison. "the ocean" is sdre now,
not when they did any of the other records. so it just kind of seems to me
that it should be looked at that way, as something completely different from
anything else, even if it is by the same band who did the other stuff. know
what i mean?
anyways, just thought i'd share my opinions on the matter since other people
have. thanx for reading. =)
