I think a lot of you fail to see what this album's purpose is, but that's okay, I did at first as well... I don't think I'll ever rate it as it's not an enjoyable album, but it isn't trying to be. This is the kind of music you listen to when studying or falling asleep, hell, even just for something to put on in the background to encourage thought.

"it's not an enjoyable album, but it isn't trying to be."

well thats dumb you could say that about so many things. if it's not enjoyable, then it's not good. why would you draw any other conclusion. theres a bunch of sleep/study music that's waaaaay better than this. this is just boring loops repeated literally 5000 times

on another note, if you want a way cooler album that's sort of similar to this, try the caretaker's "an empty bliss beyond this world"

I said that because a lot of people are approaching this album thinking that it's going to be something fun to listen to, or something that evokes some kind of emotion. I think this is perfect for studying, the loops help get my mind on track and focus on what I'm reading/writing. To each their own though.

robertsona: What is meant by 'better'? Anything that's more engaging than this would surely discourage thought.

"if it's not enjoyable, then it's not good." that is such a dumb thing to say. I once sat for three hours and listened to a holocaust survivor. the experience brought me absolutely no enjoyment but that doesn't mean it wasn't important and worth going to.

im pretty sure if i dont enjoy a piece of music then it's not good; what the fuck else would i base my opinion on

otherwise we delve into dumb shit where people say a piece of music is good because it should be good or the concept behind it is good or they can recognize its value which not coincidentally is the reason why most people say this is good oh shit get at me

I don't know why you're approaching this from such an elementary perspective, but music can do much more than just evoke emotion and be engaging. Look at it as a means of aligning yourself when studying, or something to put on for deep contemplation and you'll see its value. Honestly, I have no problem with you, but I thought you more intelligent than to say something as ridiculous as "if i dont enjoy a piece of music then it's not good".
