Oh wow... An exercise in futility and lazy songwriting. Actually, scratch that. Songwriting can't be lazy if it is nonexistent. That shit is so pompous, it's ridiculous.

How can something be pompous and not have songwriting at the same time? I thought you required too much songwriting for something to be pompous lol

"How can something be pompous and not have songwriting at the same time?"
you know pompous just means self-important, right? self-importance and quantity of songwriting (lol i would like to order three songwriting please) aren't mutually exclusive. they aren't even the same discussions. im similarly the world's best triple backflip man and anyone who can only do a double backflip is cancelled
i can't actually do a triple backflip but i believe i can > : )

Well actually simple music is rarely considered pompous, it's excessive flair that makes most people consider music pompous, right?

This page has 3 good examples of tracks with great songwriting. Just because it's unconventional, unexpected or not your type (and def not lazy) it doesn't mean it hasn't got one. No objections on coming out as pompous for many tho.

Idk dude, maybe that perspective works if you explicitly only listen to free-form jazz or prog? Entire swaths of artists in genres like noise, field recordings, minimalism (be it the more widespread electronic or minimalist classical), IDM, a metric fuck load of post rock, indie folk, half of all funeral doom, and more get labelled as pompous or self-important all the time, and most often for being anything but excessive. You don't have to chuck four time signature changes three key transpositions two chromatic runs and a partridge in a pear tree together to love the smell of your own farts.

Album is the musical equivalent of trying to get a coherent explanation of the belief in God from Jordan Peterson

I think this album could've been a lot better if it:
1. Was at least 25 minutes shorter
2. Didn't have random immediate dynamic shifts in EVERY SONG
3. Obligatory loudness war gripe/better mixing

"Well it depends on what you mean by 'cohesion', eh. Some scholars would contest that the very notion of one musical idea even tangentially being related to the one that directly preceded it - or, haha, I guess the one after it too, if you want to be pedantic - oh, so... it's it's, a tyrannical diktat of the Enlightenment, so they would say. And it's like 'no' that's wrong; not just a stylistic preference, but that can't even be reconciled with the fundamentals of songwriting--"oh but beauty is in the eye of the beholder", ha! Ya, sure, bucko."
