Nah, I'm just gonna tell you that I don't like Iron Maiden either.
Well, that's fine. That comes down to your personal tastes. But whatever it is you DO like about DT, there's another side to DT. Clearly there's some stuff you don't like, but that stuff is just as much a part of the band as what you do like, and you can't say that part of DT isn't good just because it doesn't appeal to your particular tastes.
As far as emotions, I guess certain songs hit me more emotionally. An awesome melody, or great lyrics are usually the trigger. Mentioning Iron Maiden, that's one of the biggest reasons I love them, is the lyric subject matter. I can listen to Aces High and visualize those ME-109's coming out of the sun! Their lyrics tell such great stories, which make a connection with me.
Exactly! And Brave New World, having read the book, hit me so much harder when I listened to it. I mean, referring to the story within the book, it's really kind of a tragic story and thereby a tragic song.
As for DT, I can listen to Forsaken, and visualize the story that's going on, and frankly, the idea of this hot vampire girl visiting in the night is kind of romantic and enticing.
