Lol the Sowing beef soundoff is top now, this is the most battle mode he’s been since The Killers released that Christmas covers compilation

luci - Sowing pretty much outright says he hates something and it is this album, and him hating something is rarer than unicorn sweetbreads

This is playing better the second time. the chanting chorus of "eternal" is a good time

interesting final sentence in the review of this in The Guardian:



Herndon counters the hysteria around AI with an album that presents it as a quizzical, cute pet on the leash of a human master: a sensitive, responsive part of the family.

I have genuinely zero sense of where I stand with regard to the apparently inflated importance of the AI stuff or how it operates within the album, but I feel like the "songwriting" here is pretty staid. "last gasp"...not much going on

This is still a light 4 for me, (3.8/5)



I feel like it's great as one cohesive piece, but a lot of the tracks don't stand well on their own

the first time I heard this, I had completely come up with my own interpretation of the concept. But after looking up that it's about training an AI then it really changed my experience the second time I listened to it. P.S. my interpretation was felt better tho

This is actually far less challenging to listen to than I expected, especially since I was too stupid to understand Platform.

Yeah, and Frontier will be the gateway for him. He’ll realize it’s incredible, and then other songs will click. Then suddenly...a Sowing 5 appears

i haven't heard the whole thing in full yet, but eternal is hype as hell

i took an electronic contemporary composition class this last semester and we learned a lot of the same processes she uses (mainly Max MSP)
