Only because of our big brains, which have gotten us in more trouble by
thinking too damn much.

'Course, ya gotta watch out and make sure you don't rely on your big brain
too much, otherwise we'll just fool ourselves into liking things merely
because they're beyond our brain's comprehension (thus tending to make our
brains even bigger, which is obviously part of their evil plot)

p.s. we should start skimming down on emotions anyways. who's for picking
out 3 or 4 good solid emotions and just applying them in different parts
for songs? we could have, say, happy, sad, confused, and nostaligic, and
say autechre is 1/2 parts happy, 3 parts sad, and 8 parts confused, whereas
they used to be 2 parts happy, 4 parts sad, 1 part confused, and 3 parts
nostalgic. it would make reviews a lot easier and maybe help to shrink our
big brains a bit.
