I like Aesop's flow BECAUSE of his stream-of-consciousness approach. His abstraction isn't really that hard to decipher when you view it in parts. The notion that a song needs to be about the same strict concept detracts from the overall experience in my opinion. In Aesop's case I like where you can decipher multiple different concepts in a song and put them together to create something solid from the pieces in your own mind. That's one of the main things I love about his flow... He gives you the pieces and you can arrange them however you want. It's far easier to relate to something like that if you're game for putting in the effort and gluing it all together in your own way, versus someone who's simply spelling out the idea and you either relate or don't.
Aesop is much more interactive to me than anyone else, and that's why view him as highly as I do.
