Yeah , I don ' t agree with him on that point either to be honest . However , when I first listened to TPAB my first thought was that there were so many very clear influences from other genres . I mean , take ' for free interlude ', it sounds like something straight from a Miles Davis record . Granted , with vocals added . I wouldn ' t argue that MBDTF don ' t have influences from other genres , but it ' s way more subtle in my opinion , it ' s more take these things and make it my own versus let ' s have a blues song on the record . I ' m no expert or anything , I might be totally wrong , but that ' s how I see it anyway . I don ' t see anything even close to as obvious as ' for free interlude ', or ' how much a dollar cost ', on MBDTF .
