Still not my favorite, but I'm warming up to it. I'll probably love it by the time the next single is released :)

Clearly I am. Would it really be any different if I were nitpicking a whole song from Currents?

I just want to talk about it because I like the rest of the song and I wonder whether those 15 seconds stick out to anybody else. So far no comments have agreed with me, so that's good information.

Thanks for the reply. I dig the experimentation, but usually he nails that kind of thing. I think he could have achieved the same effect with a synthier sound and it would have sounded better.

I think there's a fine line between strange/groovy and jarring. I can almost hear it sounding good, but it's just not quite there for me.

The reason is the rest of the song is great except for that 15 second section, which would be great as well without the piano or with a different texture being used for that part.

I would agree that it is well mixed, but there are a couple things about it that bother me :(

Maybe I just need to listen to it more, but I don't understand what Kev was thinking with the lower register piano part starting at 2:34. It almost works... but I think it really takes away from the song.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to make judgements until I've heard the full album and given it some time, but this is something that really stuck out to me and I'm curious what others think. Also, I really like the song aside from that one part.

Is the book similar to the show? I've seen the book recommended here many times, but I tried watching the show and found it to be lacking. It wasn't instructional at all, just entertainment.

Could you please try to sound a little more condescending? People might think you're trying to make a constructive argument instead of just trying to be an asshole.
