This is the part of my blog where you all have to put up with me rambling about things which interest me which probably bore you to tears. I'll understand if you skip to the next entry (and I apologise if at the point that you're reading this, there isn't a next entry yet!). It's all relevant to what's going on in my head just now though :)
One of my favourite Norwegian bands, Tristania, released their new album at the beginning of the week. They're a fantastic team of musicians with a lot of potential to create something amazing, yet what we were finally given was a record that was just rather mediocre. Even new singer Mary (who's come up against a lot of opposition from old Tristania fans who think the sun shines out of Vibeke Stene's -old singer's- ass), who I know to have an amazing voice and energy from having seen her perform live, comes a cropper as everything kind of mashes together into one big pile of bleh.
Now I've given it some thought, and I think that if I listened to it without knowing it was a Tristania album I might like it more. With that in mind, I am desperately seeking that 'aha!' moment when I suddenly realise why it's awesome.
But things change. I know that and I have deep respect for that (I respect it partly because I harbour a deep hatred of people that are too stuck in the past to see what's good about what's happening now, but that's another story).
Will bash on with listening to it in any case, and I'm still looking insanely forward to their show in Bergen in October (just need to figure out where to get tickets!).
