me last week - "this sounds amazing but I mostly listen to music while doing work these days and idk if I'll have the attention"
me now, with the lyrics pdf open and 'A note on the text' open in another tab to help me decipher this beautiful riddle of an opener' - "we're just gonna not do any work today are we"

Getting really frustrated with this. I realize it's not too much about the music itself and listening to the lyrics is important, but I wish it was more about the music. The music itself gets stale pretty fast.

This took a long time to win me over (by my standards), but I just can't resist me a passionately delivered love story in the form of a multi-suite magnum opus
Like in history I think my track record with this sort of thing is like 70% classic rating

Didn't mean to be harsh. Like, I'll keep trying with this but I need a break from it until I can follow along with the lyrics on Genius or something. Really want to like this but I just don't right now despite loving Prelude.

"Didn't mean to be harsh."
Ha, sorry for my poor choice of words; you weren't particularly harsh, I just basically think the same as you - ie: it's more about the lyrics than the music, and I'm not the client for that kinda stuff - but I do appreciate the music.

in all honesty this is EXACTLY the sort of saccharine overwrought hyperliterate Sowing/Rowan-core that is everything I've ever wanted, the sort of hyperbolic nonsense that should crumble under its own weight but instead stands up because of its sheer beauty and magnificent execution
i'll probably 5 this in time but for now it's instantly my AOTY. I have not been moved by music like this in years and if that makes me a sentimental old fart I don't care

preach, Project
Rowan's final couple lines summarize how I feel about music appreciation in general: "Whatever happens in the future, The Idyll Opus always will have been the most important thing to me for this one, shining, vivid moment in time. What is that if not what we all need music for?"
It also echoes with some of the same sentiments from my Lord Huron review. If something knocks you on your ass because of how awesome it is, don't be afraid to write a hyperbolic, gushing 5/5 review of it with a big goofy grin the whole time. Because to me, that evasive feeling - when some feels written just for you - is sort of why I listen to music in the first place.

The Mae earnestness is a nice observation
I knew I got this feeling from an album before and it was probably The Everglow
