I actually found this incredibly dark. Maybe depressive is a better descriptor.

I'm in a weird situation with this where I've heard the first 7 or so songs like twenty times and the back half only two or three times. I guess it's thanks to my daily commute length. Anyway, I'm basically obsessed with Look at the Sky, Get Your Wish, Wind Tempos, and Musician. I need to start beginning my listens halfway through so I can acclimate myself with the back half more. I think I've only heard this all the way through once lol.

Wind tempos? Seriously? That song brings this down a full letter grade.

Yeah I love it especially the second half. I do think it was a mistake putting it so early in the tracklist though. It kind of kills the momentum.

seen a number of comparisons to Owl City and The Chainsmokers (?) across review sites, mostly from people that seem to engage minimally with electronic music. it's like hearing something like Gojira and dismissing it as a Metallica clone lol

there are obviously a lot of differences between this and owl city, but they're transcended by the ultravanilla dearth of engaging chord progressions/melodies and overall naffness that runs through both

gonna pull the same card as you and say that a lot of the crowd rallying round this are also people who typically engage minimally with electronic music, and we will both be correct because this is a cursed site where 90% of everyone engages minimally with electronic, gifting us with such takes as I wasn't sure cause its electronic and its rare when music of this genre can actually be THIS captivating or emotive and how many times has [Cosmogramma] been called the Kid A of the 2010's, because it's true... (sorry sow, never letting that go ;])

nah i think there's plenty of interesting melodic and harmonic progression, if anything this just lacks dynamic variance



but yeah for sure porter is an entry point for non-electronic music fans, same as artists like daft punk or gorillaz. i guess everyone has to start somewhere, lord knows i started from worse (avicii/garrix/late tiesto), i just hope people expand their listening from there and branch out into other stuff



i'm not gonna fault people who are new to these styles for missing some contextual elements, unless they confidently assert they understand more than they do

Those entry points can still be high points too. luci gave this a 4 and he listens almost exclusively to electronic. I get why someone would claim this is entry level but that doesn't diminish its value. I think the reason this is resonating with so many people is because of how life-affirming it sounds
