It’s an interesting question: whether BRB is about an aimless kind of nostalgia or healthy rejuvenation. I’ve never played Rock Band but it certainly seems like a new way of interacting with and engaging music. But I also see Duncan’s point that, whenever we transition to something new, something is also lost and, though that’s frequently a good thing, it isn’t universally the case.

For example, I think I will miss the album. I like the way you could get carried along in a flow of emotion and it’s sad now that we all kinda’ jump around from track to track (or at least I do most of the time).

Oh, tangent: I was playing Sonic 2 a while ago (yep, Sonic 2) and it reminded me of the album, in that it seemed to have these really great shifts in tone and atmosphere when you moved from level to level, just like a good album. Felt like it’d make a good blog post but haven’t gotten around to writing it yet.
