Appleseed Cast: Two conversations. Another late review

Cleaning up the last of the reviews I haven't finished:

I will not give this one much space.

Times I have started the album: At least 15.

Times I have finished the album: Never.

I am a sucker for an album that has a good beginning. Not just a good track that begins the album, but an actual album intro, that feels bigger than the first track. Like Sgt. Pepper's or Zooropa. Two Conversations has a great beginning. Really great. As in, I get a giddy rush every time I listen to it, which explains why I have started the album many times. In fact, I am starting it again right now and I am pumped. Oh man, here we go, the roller coaster is at the top. And here we gooooo...aaaaaaand, it's all about juvenile love. Again. Every freaking time. To quote Morrissey: "It says nothing to me about my life."

(Somewhere inside me, there's an emo kid yelling at me that I am a hypocrite. That emo kid gets smaller and smaller every year. I feel less sympathetic to the Cast with each passing month. Each listen is shorter. Sorry emo kid.)
