Well, i just bought Empiricism the other day (it finally arrived at HMV!!!). I can't ell you the excitement of seeing it n the shelf, picking it up, actually touching the finshed product!!! The digipak looks so awesome, it was one of the most exciting moments of my life. I had been waiting quite some time for this! Right from the beginning when a new album was announcd, I was already claiming that it would no doubt be the album of the year.
Well, after a number of listens, I am thoroughly disappointed. I really find nothing interesting or inspiring on here. I mean, the music even sound uninspired to me. I don't know what happened, the vocals are perfect, the guitars are exceptiuonally played, as are the other instruments, and the production is kick-ass. But the songs are simply monotonous and uninteresting. I hate it, I wake up, and feel the butterflies in my stomach as I thinik about the dfact that I own the CD, only to slowly realize that, even though I finally own it, it's really not going ot do anything for me (well, maybe except looking at the artwork.)
Even now, I get these false hopes of thinking it's great, and I'll go and listen to it again, just like the other times, in hopes that maybe this time it'll be good.
But I don't think it will.
Yes, it is a sad moment. I don't think I've ever been this let down in my life.
Moral of the story-don't ever get your hopes too high. When you fall, it hurts that much more.
(damn, and I wonder I get so emotional over relationships...)
