So swollen it fills up my mouth.

I think "The Kiss" by The Cure contains probably the greatest guitar solo ever recorded. This thing so so massive. It's distorted in a particular way, with a wah pedal the last link in the insert-chain. It really screams, this solo. At parts, if you didn't know better, you'd think there was a talkbox attached to the signal, but it's merely the wah being used in really creative ways. It's also really really long, 3 minutes 51 seconds. One thing that's so great about it is that its length becomes almost part of the solo itself: you sort of wonder - is this when the vocals come in? - only to be disappointed at virtually every point. It's almost like the final, climactic showdown scene in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly in that way. It's drawn out for SOOO LOOONG, that its sheer length becomes part of the artistry. Unbelievable. I urge everyone to listen to this thing. This is what I mean by daring, courageousness in a recording; the thing the Cure's great albums has but that records like Wild Mood Swings don't.

That is all.
