I've heard a couple of tracks from the Stage and they were Definitely Proficient And Competent And Fine but also bored the pants off me. Did not love the prod either, shit was a vaguely sandpaper lab rat

After reading so much dissonant reviews , from great record, to album of the year and even the worst piece of junk ever ...

Was expecting to ear it with the proper attention...

Today was the day ...



And I assume before all sputnik users...





I like this record a lot !



If it is well played or even if it a masterpiece ...I don't care ...



I like it ...

I'm glad sput is taking a generally more positive stance on this compared to rym.

Yeah The Stage is pretty boring compared to this. There's a few bangers on there, mind. Creating God and Higher deserve more love, they're great tunes!

RYMers saw the Fantano review and their pea brains decided to hate it bc they need a bald nerd on the internet to dictate their taste

“I listened to this album because Fantano said it was dogshit, and usually I find that when he says something's dogshit it's a little less bad than he makes it seem, so I wanted to see if that was still true. and it was . . . much worse than the music itself was the idea behind it all and its reception . . . There's nothing inherently wrong with being a pseudo-intellectual, but where I got scared was seeing the comments section of the youtube videos for the tracks. Fans seem to think this album reflects their life and teaches them things. I saw a comments that said that A7x is guiding them through the stages of life. I truly hope that anyone who thinks there are genuine insights on this album can get better guidance, because this is at bottom a bad album written by a bunch of outgrown scenesters on psychadelics. They ripped off Daft Punk. No one should look to a dramatic metal band that rips off Daft Punk for any kind of guidance at all”



damn

Yeah, I’ve listened to the stage a couple times and it’s pretty dish water to me

the only gripe i have with this is it's an absolute nightmare to keep my scrobbles all in one place. someone at last.fm thought it was a good idea to upload the album with both the uppercase "A" and the lowercase "a" in the album title. i paid for pro (still worth it tbh cuz i got to change my name finally and merge some other albums) and the scrobble editor doesnt allow you to change casing. so the album shows up twice.

@Gonzo: Idk, I still vastly prefer The Stage to this. The Stage had its experimental moments as well, but they were reigned in with more focused songwriting; on the other hand, I think Life Is but a Dream has a lot of cool moments, but they're stitched together too haphazardly imo. I originally had this at a 4, but I'm starting to hear more of the cracks and inconsistencies in the songwriting

@Koris

Starting to feel the same. I still fucking love this. I wish they hadn't put out both Nobody and We Love You. Ive listened to those songs so much pre release that I almost want to skip them

That Fantano review is hilarious tbh. Felt a bit harsh, similar to his Ohms review. But idk. The rym drone thinking is cringe though.
