while it's not the worst thing i've ever heard, i'm personally not a fan of dcfc because it's not, well, *interesting* to me on a musical, lyrical or emotional level. folks, strokes. yet, i find the rush comparison interesting. comparisons to rush are not generally well-received in the indie rock world, but i *do* hear a likely unconscious objectivist strain in the lyrics.

i don't think the battles comparisons are fair for this disc, although they are for the next disc. this is really more in the tradition of late tortoise, taken to the next level.

it's not the song that hasn't aged, it's our culture that's stagnant.

@pilates68 i agree with you. there are some great musical pieces post-gabriel. it's hard to imagine genesis without entangled, blood on the rooftops or even the duke suite. but, they lost the plot. they lost the cinematics, the edge....
@pilates68 but you shouldn't ignore the fact that gabriel lost a lot of the same things when he left, too. it took him until his third disc to become relevant again, and it really wasn't until he turned to soundtracks that he started producing some really serious music again.

it seems to be that the issue the dog was grappling with wasn't whether it could open the door or not but whether it was "allowed" to open the door or not.
