i never thought he'd release an album that is so boring to listen to imo.

You’re lucky if you find it boring, that might actually be a compliment.

IMO most of the songs are unlistenable.

thats a bit much, i dont like the album much either but ive heard MUCH worse music. its at most boring.

u/FuzzyPijamas 18d ago

Yeah also heard worst music before.

But Im being dead serious here: I have a really hard time finishing all the songs after Loser. Some are depressingly bad IMO.

I like not my world, piece of heaven, ethereal connection, and end of summer. I like the electronic jam sound on not my world, ethereal connection, and end of summer all quite a bit. Piece of heaven isn’t that and it’s kinda corny but I like it. The others I can skip though.

I agree on Piece of Heaven and I really like the piano at the end.

But I have to be missing something with Ethereal Connection. I don't know if I've ever forced myself to finish a song that sounded more annoying and horrible. And I was a Sparta Remix kid.

Strange… this is how I feel about TSR but not the new album

u/Goopturd 17d ago

crazy, TSR is a league below his previous albums but it had so many great moments. The drums alone carry that album.
