Its not the audible. How you didnt pick your favorite

One of the interesting things about music to me is not just the audible, Its the moments and surroundings around each of us and how we have the gumption or the blind emotion not to bring it up. And then those who do bring it up we tend to brush away the emotion due to human nature we do not want your experience to influence our experience.
If you have been into metal especially if your parents are into metal you like all of us have probably seen the infamous debate between these 2 albums
                                             or
 It never seems to end Gen X metalheads tying to convince each other " For whom the Bell Tolls" is enough to conquer anything on "Puppets" And then you have the Dave Mustaine influence on " Lightning"  This dead horse is still getting kicked 30 years later just like what is the best Slayer record. Its audible banter we love it.
BUT let me get Pavlonian on you and this is FACT. The reason we cannot win these arguments is not because we cannot deny the riff in "Creeping Death" is better than the sludge of " The thing that should not be" is because its not the music that makes it your favorite it is the moment !
The reason we love a record is because the time of our life when we hear it good or bad the timing of when we hear music and the emotion going on during that time is what is our connection. It may have been the worse day of your life but the riff in "Master" caught you and what it made you feel on that day makes it your favorite. It may be the day you got that hot red head at 7-11's number and "Fade to Black" was playing in someones car at that moment.
Your moment is not going to be better than someone else's moment. Its not the audible.
In closing you did not even get the choice to pick your favorite because life did it for you .

  1. Everyone will have their own personal bias ànd subjective reasoning as to why one thing is better than another, nobody is wrong nobody is right, but what is true regardless, is that we feel strongly about this music, this music that moves us, inspires us, this music that shapes our being, and that music binds us all together under a common passion, music is the truth.
