Re: Re-listened to the TT5B
I think TT5B will always be met with a degree of disdain simply because of it's overtly socio-political commentary. Which isn't to discredit the nobility of said outspokenness, however the manner in which said prose were delivered, whilst sharply adjacent to their trademark silliness, translated to something of an "after-school special" vibe.
I feel if they had contained the socially conscious tunes to a succinct EP release, and maintained a more universally lighthearted sentiment for the piece de resistance, that TT5B would be more readily accessible and resilient to fans, both loyal and casual.
Then again, what better podium from which to express one's deep-seated opinions than woven symbiotically among a highly anticipated LP proper?
Alas, it's their art and their prerogative, and god bless'em for sticking to their guns time and time again.
it's just 2 wheels and me, the wind in eyes... |
