The Psychological Dangers of the Best Track on PotRE

I'm listening to "The Bloated Pope."  The ringing telephone sample at the beginning sounds exactly like the ring on my home phone.  My headphones give everything a slight echo. I know the sample is there, I still think my phone is ringing. . .and it's driving me nuts.

This has got nothing to do with POTRE but I had to think of it when I read this post.
At the beginning of 'At The Stake' there's this very quiet whistling noise that kinda sounds like a plane flying, really high, and it's not yet above you but you hear it coming closer from far away... Now everytime I hear a plane like this, I think 'At The Stake' is playing somewhere... oh well.

POTRE, but they're all very good songs.

pink bat to you all,

as a young boy growing up in Michigan I would listen to the TOOL album Opiate. And during the end of the song Opiate beneath all the noise and oloudness you can hear an old ringing phone like the phone at your grand ma's house. even though i didn't have that kind of ring then it still tricked me.

Why? Track marks are helpful.

Not if you hate wearing long sleeves.




Not that I would know....


At least that you're aware of...


I mean...

Nevermind.

Why? Track marks are helpful.

having a single track album is good in some cases, in my opinion, because it forces the listener to take in the album as a piece. With albums like Lysol, I think it would've been OK to divide it up because there are easily identifiable, seperate parts to the tracks that the listener can just skip to without a buildup into the song and it wouldn't ruin the feel of the song. You don't NEED Roman Dog Bird to enjoy Sacrifice, it's solid enough as its own piece. They could've just as easily made Hung Bunny and Roman Dog Bird one track and divided the rest of the song into seperate track.
but with something like, say, Boris' album Absolutego there would be no point separating the main song into several different tracks because it isn't divided into easily-identifiable movements or sections. The beginning and all the bits in between work together to make one piece. You'd be skipping into the middle of the song and all the effect would be gone because you didn't hear what came before.

At least that's my general outlook on the "single track vs multiple track" albums idea.
