But Alex's guitar work on Necromancer is truly awesome I probably agree with you. I say probably because it's just been so long since I've listened to The Necromancer. I do remember some parts of that song being truly awesome, but it all has to do with the threshold of how much unbearable parts of a song interfere with your enjoyment of an entire song. For me the song (like the rap section of RTB) is ruined by the parts I don't like, which are too prominent to ignore. To listen to the song in a cut and paste fashion, meaning to fast forward past the parts I don't like, not only seems too labor intensive, but a bit silly. Either the song works or it doesn't. So while you might be right about the non-narration parts of the song being much cooler than the somewhat lyrically clunky (but still great) By-Tor, The Necromancer still loses because I simply won't listen to it. What were they thinking? Probably trying to create mood or atmosphere to draw the listener in. As far as Roll The Bones, it's again just a bit of fun that lots of fans make too much of. I hate rap, but i can still dig what they did there. I understand the mood and atmosphere thing, but I have to like the way they did it, and I don't. It was a failed experiment that ruined the song, much like the RTB rap ruins that song. Are you trying to convince me to suddenly like those parts and have it not ruin the song for me? If so, good luck. Hey hippie, don't be so "narrow minded"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Alex's guitar work on Necromancer is truly awesome I probably agree with you. I say probably because it's just been so long since I've listened to The Necromancer. I do remember some parts of that song being truly awesome, but it all has to do with the threshold of how much unbearable parts of a song interfere with your enjoyment of an entire song. For me the song (like the rap section of RTB) is ruined by the parts I don't like, which are too prominent to ignore. To listen to the song in a cut and paste fashion, meaning to fast forward past the parts I don't like, not only seems too labor intensive, but a bit silly. Either the song works or it doesn't. So while you might be right about the non-narration parts of the song being much cooler than the somewhat lyrically clunky (but still great) By-Tor, The Necromancer still loses because I simply won't listen to it. What were they thinking? Probably trying to create mood or atmosphere to draw the listener in. As far as Roll The Bones, it's again just a bit of fun that lots of fans make too much of. I hate rap, but i can still dig what they did there. I understand the mood and atmosphere thing, but I have to like the way they did it, and I don't. It was a failed experiment that ruined the song, much like the RTB rap ruins that song. Are you trying to convince me to suddenly like those parts and have it not ruin the song for me? If so, good luck. Hey hippie, don't be so "narrow minded"! Is it narrow minded not to like something? Hippies love everything, remember? All you need is love!! Who told you that's the way things worked, the hippie fairy? I can still be a hippie and be an opinionated bastard at the same time. So the "love everything" is a myth! No, that was just part of the definition of hippie in your mind. When have I ever on this board demonstrated that I love everything? So then we must assume that your a "hippie wanna be" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
