Just as someone who has always liked jazz, the word "dissonance" suggests the jazz would be unpleasant at points, but perhaps what you are calling dissonance - I am characterizing as excitement?
and Freeper threads (oops...)
Dissonance in jazz is like garlic to the Lamb chop.. added correctly you don't even its there.. but you like it.. and didn't even know it happened.. Some jazz is garlic with a chop passed over it.. You didn't even know the lamb chop happened.. And thats the difference between a meal and a headache.. Some people like pain..
