I tried so hard to love it, I really did. I nearly blew my ears out and died of boredom over and over and over again trying to get into it. I was so hyped up for it, the previews all blew me away and then...it just...fell flat. I don't know what happened, perhaps it really just isn't for me, and that pains me to say considering that PT is still vying for my favorite band along with a few others. I just do not like it one single bit with the exception of about four tracks on the song-cycle; although I do absolutely love Disc 2. I suppose one thing is that I'm fucking sick and tired of concept albums, long, drawn out songs and certainly 'song-cycles' (even though this is the only instance I've heard that term and hopefully the last). Meh. Here's hoping the next album is leagues different.
Not that I'm defending myself or anything; I couldn't give a fuck less, it's literally impossible. I tried and I nearly killed myself. Scary shit. But it still does bother me from time to time that some people love it and I really tried, I truly did and I got nothin'. It's like having a woman there trying to pleasure you and you want some and you're horny but god damn it you just do not have a thing for this chick. But you tried. You fondled her, you tickled her tookus, you lapped her labia...still nothing. Not even a chub. FUCK, BERNICE, JUST GET THE FUCK OUT, I'LL FINISH MYSELF. I'm going to call TI, Bernice from now on.
