Thanks for not hyping this. You're doing some kind of reverse psychology, and it works for me.

Honestly this entire review just reads like a knee-jerk reaction for not matching BTTOS. It's structured similarly because it's a literal continuation of BTTOS's story, but then 10 years later. Hence there are many musical and lyrical call backs to the album. This album has plenty of good things happening in its own right, and this is in no way 1.5/5 material.

Splendor is not a concept album, actually. So there isn't a "story" to it. I was surprised to learn this as well, but via Andy himself when questioned on it in 2017: "It is hard for us all to go back in time and claim that we had a plan. There was none really. So I do not actually use the label concept album because it sounds to me as if it already had a concept from start or at least during the making. Maybe there was, but more on an emotional or spiritual level."

Concept or not, this is just lazy and uninspired. It's like the fanboys of this band wanted this to happen so badly and they decided to just hash it out and call it a day.

I agree with you obviously on the result, Wiz, but Andy, thanks to crowd funding, didn't have a day job for two years and worked only on this. So yeah, fans wanted this badly and funded it, but this is the result. Lyrical and instrumental callbacks to the prior album are outright aping. There isn't some grand story involved, this being called a spiritual successor or otherwise. Uninspired and forced is definitely apt for sure.

At least two years was spent making this, so I will give you that.

It's not only wrong, it also seems to be penned by a slightly insane person.



I honestly think someone should remove this review for Observer's sake.

I’m worried about listening to this again, not sure it’s going to get any better. If anything I may have given in the benefit of the doubt.

I'm pleased people like this, as for the band I guess you could call it their 'Liberation' - no longer do the pressures of a (spiritual) follow up to BTTOS exist, it's kind of a fitting title that could almost have been intentional (speculation here).
