I was listening to the Tallis Fantasia this Sunday with a couple of friends as we drove across the snowy Hardangervidda, the mountain plateau (about 1200 meters above sea level) separating West Norway and East Norway. The moon was full (practically speaking), to begin with we could only very faintly make it out behind a thick haze of cloud, but during the RVW piece it appeared in full silvery sheen before going behind a pitch black cloud, etc.. it was awesome. Not to get all faux-poetic, lol.

I feel like the title 'music nerd' brings alongside it an air of pretentiousness that the average music enjoyer looks down upon. I'd agree with you that theres too many individuals out there that try to look too critical for the sake of looking musically intelligent. 'Smags' Is a guy I'd reccomend to you if youre looking for someone who loves music, but is genuine. Hes genuinely done reaction videos of hundreds of critically acclaimed albums as just a normal, music loving guy.

​@@boklostia887 Well, my boy, Bok, I think I had better tell you something about myself. I'm the Executive Senior Editor for Sony Music Headquarters based in Los Angeles. I gave-up listening to all those who show the "pretentiousness" you speak of, from people trying to essentially try to impress everyone with a technical review of music that are: "Trying to sound and look, as if, they actually know what they are talking about, attempting to belong to an exclusive club that's above everyone else". Music elitism is something that's natural for a beginner, who only wants to belong to, "an exclusive club of music elitists'." Your different ― Bok. Your down-to-Earth way of speaking and discussing music is exactly what other people want. I'm detecting someone probably wrote something in the comments section, that somehow intimidated your demeanor, as well as to harbor yourself into some dark corner of KZbin's non-acceptable group. It's just a feeling, because I've watched it happen to people before, which is nothing more than average "bullying". My Uni education was primarily focused on Psychology, so my advantage is I can read anybody's body language on KZbin when they record themselves. I can almost immediately locate those people with a gigantic "superiority complex" are people who come from a financially upper middle to the lower classes and privileged so those people decided to make a KZbin page into something they've tried to build a "valid" reputation. Let me tell you, they do research beforehand the listening of an album for every band they feature, way before trying to review some highly complex "intelectual babble". More that 95% percent of these people are, for the lack of a better phrase ― They're "full of pure shit.....!!!!" On any given day, I'm required to listen to more music than anyone else within my industry will do; however, most critics don't listen to the deeper message within the music. I'm going to use your reaction to the "Heaven or Las Vegas" album by the Cocteau Twins as an example. Even though you had dropped some acid beforehand, it only opened yourself up to the greater purpose and magic of music; by not, expressing their technical aspects, would have only opened yourself to an insurmountable level of negative criticism. People can be extremely prejudicial over what they're trying to do, so they troll KZbin to so what their competition might be. There are NOT critics who evaluate an albums emotiveness and they specifically DON'T listen enough to find that something that's so differently done might expand a particular genre, which might expands our awareness of about the artist. Everything is within your genuine reactions, Bok, into various types of music where I look for specifically genuine reactions. Others try to build a personality, with a flashy platform here on KZbin and currently there are none for except you, who bring me this much joy, I've unsubscribed to countless KZbin pages. I found you out of pure luck. Believe me, I can become uber-technical about the way I speak or write to anyone, but "believe me once again" they are full of pure shit. I completely enjoy your "genuine reactions" who overshadow those with ― A major "superiority complex" (something you lack) where they feel entitled to snubs and devaluates anybody else who tries to compete with them, because they have a false sense of security. Of coarse, I never told them what I do, muchless about where I work, because it would only validate their false conclusions. My credentials tend to overwhelm others, yes, but I'm essentially "nothing more" than a "Music Nerd" just as much as yourself. I find you completely refreshing, because I want genuine reactions from the music itself. Music, can absolutely make one feel a plethora of emotions: From depressed to angry; A satisfying fulfillment of everything "happy" and "elated" sewn into the music's fabric; To something that demure and comforting like the rain in Summer; And, yet for most people, they lack an ability to psychoanalyze music from various albums ― When someone like yourself fulfils a position that I want to hear. It's a gift that not many people have, muchless tell others about. The one thing that I've discovered, are many of these artists would deeply enjoy a phone call or email ― Especially, whenever people are confused or dismayed about their creative direction. Again not everyone has this option, except if, you went to their Social Media Platform and looked up any contact information, except for Bandcamp who always have a direct linkage to every artists that are listed. Bok ― There's nothing wrong with yourself..... !!!! Those other "posers" are far to technical and almost "robotic", without any information about a bands history, what happened to give such motivation at the time. There's always a story, or something that happened in their past which inspired them to make a song from the ❤heart. I feel as if I can call you a friend, Bok. I do not want you to crawl away from being unique, creative, as well as personable. You feel everything I believe and there's nothing wrong with you at all. If you feel comfortable continuing without any "substances" to loosen you up, then do that. If you feel an occasionally special reason, you may continue dropping acid and give us your genuine self, as expressive as you want to be. The more creative and unique you are about presentations, this is where the "paydirt" is freshly tilled. Nobody ever gives the their time to just anyone and if people say something rude, nasty, or even intimidating ― Well, simply ignore them. You can block your channel from those you deem as "pretentious" jackasses and survey comments before they are posted. Believe me again, I've had people from every aspect become enraged by my music reviews, but I try to not sugarcoat my responses. I've learned that some people don't want to try to understand, is that music is a personal decision and it can expose some raw emotions. BTW: Did you buy a guitar yet, Bok......???

noted.

It is a song in which you realise its more and more complex every time you listen to it!

Fr man to me it just comes off as pretentious
