Heavenmetal is the weakest song of CLM-album. Iīm not very interesting about the videos, but to me that new vid seems like the videos of "Indie" today. Not bad, not really great. I donīt have no idea why Thurston made video from Heavenmetal instead for example Detonation. Maybe he thought HM had more commercial potential? I donīt think there is, Heavenmetal sounded to me already at first more of idea of song than a full song.
But anyway I donīt still have any reason to hate Thurston or SY. I still love all SY-albums (some more than the other) and think all the solo material is not as great as SY-material (Kim in Coming Apart, Lee in Glacial & Thurston in Moore/Connors-collaboration -albums are closest to SY). I think Thurstonīs Psychic, Trees, Demolished & CLM are quite same level of goodness. I have to agree about many of here that Thurstonīs greatness seem to be at the moment in improvisation more than songwriting.
About RR & Eternal, I think they both were hated here. Maybe RR a little more (when I started here it seemed you couldnīt like RR at all if you wanted to be seriusly taken SY-fan, Iīm glad It has changed and now there are both RR & Eternal likers). I have noticed mostly same persons hate RR and like Eternal and also backwards.
Almost every artist who has a long career, started to do same song again & again. The thing is that some can do it interesting way. Thurston didnīt do it interesting way in Heavenmetal, but I think itīs ok song because it sounds really Thurston. If someone else did same kind of song, everybody would said youīve copied Thurston. And I think every other song in CLM album are enough interesting to me. Like Chris, I think Heavenmetal works the best when itīs in that additional single.
Are you critical about the music, I think itīs nothing to do about are you a fan of SY. But I think the people here (and also elsewhere) who think theyīre very critical about the music, donīt admit thereīs a lotīs of other things as quality of music that influence about their opinions of music.
