I am 15 songs deep but I already know that I won't change my mind and I need this opportunity to vent my emotions in order to be able to finish this album. This is one of the only times I have ever felt tense listening to music. I have not been able to relax a single time since I put this album on. This is genuinely one of the worst sounding pieces of music I have ever heard in my life. I despise this album. As of the time I am writing this, I am quite a few albums behind what has yet been generated but I know, if this album is the first album I had waiting for me after a long hiatus, I would probably have quit completely. If this was the first album in the project, I would have quit. This is aggressively horrible. Not a single moment of joy, not a morsel, no, not a single note sits right. Her singing is dissonant many times throughout the album and I am not sure she knows what being on key is to begin with. I genuinely expected that writing this review midway through would feel cathartic in some way but it has only served to exasperate my discomfort, as it has made me become e ven more aware of the horrors currently playing. As my response to some of the global reviews, I have to conclude mine with this: In many cases, when I have read global (or group) reviews that talk about what song they thought was their favourite, I am often so inclined to go back to check which song that specifically was; to see if I agree with them. Not this time. I refuse to even as much as open the tab from which YouTube is playing the music, for fear of learning the names and exposing myself to more elements of this album than necessary. There are but two more words that I can use to describe the feeling inside me as I near the final songs of this album. Fuck you.

Marching tunes, Scott Walkerlike singing. Can't quite tell what it reminds me of. Every theatrical singing grandma reminds me of Pugacheva, but this time the nostalgic vibes are stronger, sounds a lot like older soviet music. Maybe it's the movies about WWII. Oh, maybe Bella Ciao? Either way, it's nice music. Wouldn't mind hearing it again
