Say what you need to Say
This critique is about the song "Say" by John Mayer. This song, this horrible horrible song. It feels weird to even call this a song. He says the phrase "say what you need to say" 41 times throughout this nearly 4 minute hellscape. They could torture people to this song.

"Aqualung"
"Aqualung" artfully amalgamates acoustic and amplified aspects, accentuating Anderson's adept artistry. Atonal and aggressive, album's arrangements aptly alternate, allowing Anderson's astonishingly astute and ambiguous anecdotes. Aural adventure, albeit aged, amazes and astonishes, always an admired addition, artistically advancing art rock's allure. An archetype, absolutely absorbing, an all-time affective, arresting classic.

A talented woman, no doubt; delving into storytelling by the use of her diary where truth, in its most stark form, is surely found. Combine that with musical intuition and the hits keep coming. But... am I the only one waiting for nuance? Or maybe I prefer voices that crackle.

The Soft Bulletin
From a chance encounter and memory... I knew the name; some doubts about their sound and choices. From a listening centre (remember Tower Records?).... Hypnotized by Spider Bites, Bleeding Heads, Waiting for a Superbeing and Disintegrations...

The Hippy Movement.
"It was not only mud, but cow manure and it was so dark it looked like chocolate syrup." “I had a view of the field and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” says Porter. “Waves and waves of torrential water hitting hundreds of thousands of people who had nowhere.
