This are pretty samey. HOWEVER, if you listen to the songs singly every now and then they're pretty class.
I loved balloons when it came out and listened to it on repeat. Then I got the album and was disappointed. Then I started listening to red sox pugie a lot. Then I listened to Cassius a lot. I never listen to the whole album though, it doesn't hold one's attention very well.

And that's my life story up until now.>> ^Seric:

Cassius is good as well I think...
Oh, and red sox pugie always catches you off guard
Hmm. Maybe I should sift some Foals. Indie never sifts though

A friend dragged me along to see them live. I concluded all their songs are practically identical.

There is indeed room for concise writing, BUT I would much rather read:

"He is a man who would be king"

Rather than:

"He would be king"

Plus is has a slightly different connotation too.

It comes down to stylistic choices, and if all you're concerned about is brevity, then you can lose much of the beauty of language:

"The question as to whether or not he was gay was, in fact, the wrong one to ask"

Vs

"Whether or not he was gay was, in fact, the wrong question to ask"

Is just personal style.

"Owing to the fact that he was once a champion horse racer, she thought it best to not show him the dead foal"

vs

"Since he was once...."

Just doesn't sound as nice.

So, I will not be jumping on your brevity bandwagon sir, for I enjoy our language and all its myriad ways to describe the same thing. I mean, you could apply a lot of this to Shakespeare and create some deathly dull prose.

Thanks! You are quite right.
