I guess I just don't feel like November is dynamic enough. I've truly listened to the song on a gazillion levels trying to figure out what's really grabbing people. do it again I understand, even crossroad I understand more than November, but November... November's pieces ARE very good but it lacks gestalt so I can't feel it really. I can acknowledge a bunch of what it does right, but it's like... you know when you have a joke explained to you it's not funny anymore? It's like that. I can't FEEL any excellence there. But I feel that way with a good deal of mid-tempo ballads to be honest so that may be personal bias on my part.
I also think it builds up to something it never reaches, and in some songs that's done to very good effect, but about 75% of the time it ends up just being unsatisfying, and that's the case for me with November.
