Ruin

Is this the first artist to not even have a wikipedia page? That's how obscure we're going, I respect it. I can't say I loved this, I'm only keeping one song, but I can't say it was bad either. Musically, pretty interesting variety. But I wasn't impressed. 2.5/5

A bit too overly-dramatic for me to file this under the best music genre of all time - "goofy medieval music". Also, this is going to be extremely specific, but it reminded me too much of music you'd find in Youtube compilations titled something like "Royalty Free Viking Music For Your D&D Campaign 10 Hours (No Ads)". 2/5, but a weird kind of 2/5, because I can tell that I would have absolutely loved it with some production tweaks.

Interesting… not my style

This is simply music for the theatrical people. This feels like something you would hear on an off off broadway show where you get a 10 minute introduction about the journey and how everything’s a metaphor for the new wave apartheid. Ok maybe that was a bit much but that’s exactly how this album is. It goes a bit further than the musical realm and brings performance too. If you’re into that then this is for you. 4.6/10

Extremely try-hard theatre kid melodramatic music that swells and reaches for epicness from the first note and flails around trying to get there for 40 minutes. Dual vocals, strummy guitars, rich string arrangements, operatic ambitions, a through-narrative. Then a few tracks without the strings and just a more sparse singer songwriter folksy thing, but with the same cringey lyrics (“I’m going to show my cat some memes”) and musical theatre melodic phrasing. A for effort, but D for not including anything I want to listen to.

Aaaaah! Theater kids with a budget! Run! Burn it! Gah!!!

Indie folk dramatic theater kid vibes.

Wow! That was god awful! Sounds like it comes from the most budget Ren Faire troupe. 1/5

I lost interest after they started singing about showing their cat some memes and playing D&D.

This definitely sounds like music that the guy from The Witcher would make, and not in a great way. The cover about sums up the vibe too. Just very cheesy over the top folk.

This is some privileged "artistic" nonsense. I can hear that it's being made by people who've never had to struggle or work a hard day in their lives. It's pissing me off to listen to someone with the leisure to live their dreams, even if those dreams are talentless drivel.
