I was playing only one season earlier this week.This evening it was Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
So today, it was 70° (that's 21° Canadian)...
Take away half of those songs on Santana IV and keep the best eight or nine, and I bet we'd have a different impression of it. And I'd say the same about many albums, actually.
Funny, I was playing Santana IV in the car today, and I identified maybe eight or nine songs that would have made a nice, listenable album. I'm going to rearrange them and try playing them in the car that way. The weak tunes really seem to wander aimlessly IMHO and it saps the strength out of the album.I agree on that. When Fleetwood Mac's Say You Will came out, it was 16 or 17 songs and around 75 minutes, or thereabouts. I made my own version where I excised about 2/3 of the songs, put in one of the "bonus" tunes from the deluxe edition of the album, and added in a few Christine McVie songs that had previously appeared only on their box set. Made a really good 40 minute album out of it, although the Christine stuff (having been recorded years earlier and probably without Lindsey Buckingham) didn't quite fit in, productionwise. But it was still an improvement.
We got to around 87 degrees today; last week we were still running the furnace. I guess spring happened during that half hour stretch when I took a nap.I don't think nature knows what season it is right now. I keep hearing reports of snow - Michigan, Cleveland, etc. Maybe we'll get to spring eventually.
