i'm going to give an example.
pelican were their best when they aimed for mood in their music, i'm talking the fire in our throats will beckon the thaw; then, with city of echoes, they became a better band techniquewise, and boring and derivative as all shit.
talent doesn't mean how well you can play your instrument but rather what would can you make with it; there's tons of bands that are talented and technical and tons more that are talented and non-technical at all. fuck it, i bet glenn branca can't play "smoke on the water" but how many symphonies has he written and performed?
