Later it was tossed back in my face because...
That's what people who didn't understand something say when they don't know what to say.
Now, had I said that today, it would have been, wow I'm still processing that movie. This is precisely what I said last night after a viewing of Your Name and my wife said she wholly understood.
It's a much better situation to be in, but the point is more about the processing of the things going on in an artistic venture.
In my mind, it's better to leave someone speechless after they take in your vision rather than their being able to speak about it at great lengths after one listening or viewing.

When I have to take time to process music....it's because it's not just your simple KISS tracks, but something deeper.
It's literature instead of a dime store novel.
It's an epic poem rather than an imagist's moment about a wheelbarrow.
(NOTE: none of these latters are bad, but don't require the same amount of afterthought that their formers do.)
So, let's begin at the beginning of what can be told after a single listening of Sporysz. It's the latest album by a band called Jarun from Poland. They're a prog-folky-blacksy metal band.
Sporysz is, at least minimally, a thematic album about the madness of humanity. As, I was not provided a lyric sheet, much less one in English, I cannot speak to the actual spoken language, but only the universal language of music.
Find yourself adrift in a major river on small raft. Consider yourself Huck Finn in the eponymous hero's adventure, but what if instead of seeking Cairo, IL, you chose to flow down the tributaries and see where you and your friend Jim could go?
Jarun will carry you along on a journey that they're taking...it may be hard to understand and it'll take your concentration...but see where you go after you join up.
