This is interesting to me. I'm currently listening to the live version of IKWIL by Genesis from Seconds Out... And from the synth bass noise at the start to the metronomic beat to the word-beat nearly rapped first couple verses it just reminded me very much of Tom Sawyer. I always thought when I heard TS that nothing else really sounded remotely like it, but now I wouldn't be surprised if the band might have subconsciously been channeling some classic Gabriel era Genesis in a few of the ideas they put in the song. What do you all think? Do you hear similarities at all, or am I just crazy? -
Tom Sawyer. Yeah, we've ALL heard it about 6,398,173 times. Some of us are more tired of it than others. Some aren't tired of it. But I was one who was pretty burned out on it. But recently I managed to put myself into some strange Zen trance, tricking my brain into listening to the song (the album version for those keeping track) with a new, fresh, objective ear - as fresh as I could make it. And you know, really, that song just freakin' RIPS. It's powerful and driving, and yet sounds mysterious and ominous at the same time. I honestly got goosebumps, for the first time in years. I might be preaching to the choir with some people here ("well, DUH it's a great song!") but it was really nice for these jaded ears to appreciate the song once again. :D
