When I listen to operas by Philip Glass I cant help but think, wow, I do enjoy this but what must have been going through his head when he wrote this? Its unique but almost in a way where its weird. Some parts can be catchy and yet very annoying, as some catchy songs are. I don't dislike this music, in fact i have some more classical type songs on my playlist, but this is honestly quite good. It's interesting and quite relaxing to listen to I find.
Philip Glass has something going up in his brain when we write music, cause his work is very "out there". It stands on its own and you'd you know when you heard a song by him (if you've listened to his pieces before). When I listen I feel a increased sense of epicness, if you will. It builds up and reaches a climax and doesn't dissapoint when you think it cant get any more hectic. Some parts are a little cramped but nothing that really take away from a song.
Overall, Glass's music is a combination of musical suspense and build up. If you wait long enough however, you'll be satisfied with the overall feeling of the song. I feel goosebumps in certain points because the music literally makes me think of epic scenarios that the music would fit. When music makes you think, and kind of takes control of you mind while it plays then the composer or artist is doing something right.
