thats interesting. for me, when i describe a record as "emotional" it
means it successfully conveys emotion, which puts it far and above most
other records. for example, aril briha's album is some of the most
emotional music ive ever heard. and omar-s' "just ask the lonely" is right
up there as well. those are special records, hardly what i would call
bland and predictable.

they have a catalogue of terrible music, but its not the same as dance
music's terrible music. bad dance music is devoid of pretty much anything
useful, whereas rock or folk music is just bad. its easy to put emotion in
a voice, its the most expressive instrument in the world.
