@Star Pillars no one is saying people can’t enjoy a song, that doesn’t make that song good, though. There are more objective touchstones to reference when doing music criticism if you are serious about doing a good job at it. Nav doesn’t make good music and it doesn’t take a music savant to express that.

@Benjamin Tirone Nunes This isn't the best comparison but I'm going to make it anyway. Gorillaz' 2021 Notting Hill Carnival themed EP, "Meanwhile", didn't have a Wikipedia page for a while. It ended up getting one a few months after its release. If "ELEVATION", an album made by a band *way* more famous than Gorillaz, can't get a Wikipedia page sooner than that EP, I'm going to die from laughter! 🤣

Huge Iced Earth fan here. Their music has meant a lot to me, they really changed my life. I know every album by heart. I've met them too and they were very nice to me. Was heartbroken by Jon Schaffer's implication in the capitol bullshit, as well as his COVID denial, and haven't really been able to listen to IE since, pretty much. It sucks hard, because their music was a huge part of my life, but it just isn't the same now. This album was a very weird product and it truly baffled me, when I first listened to it. My take, sad as it sounds: it was a way to quickly release something "new" and make some money to help pay for Jon's legal expenses, seeing as he is in deep trouble after the riot. The music is all stuff that already existed, rearranged to sound like background fantasy music. The spoken stuff was partly already existing lyrics and partly new stuff that probably didn't take long to write. It's familiar stuff, if you know Jon. And obviously recordings the vocals wouldn't take long, you could probably do it all in one day. So, yeah, I think this album was simply a way to make some money as quickly as possible. The fall of Jon and Iced Earth is truly depressing.

I had the misfortune of coming by a Tom M video earlier today wherein he said he had the "#2 pop song on the charts" and positioned himself as the David/ independent artist vs. the Goliath of Sam Smith, producers, and the major labels. His music is apparently better and more authentic because he's the sole writing / production credit on his songs. I've never seen someone spin "no one wants to work with me" into "let's take down the system" quite so deftly.

Yo I had never heard of A Narrative Soundtrack by Iced Earth before but the way you described it sounded very funny so I decided to give it a listen. The first track I could not stop laughing. Like the lyrics, there not even lyrics, narration I guess, is like Elder Scrolls or Game of Thrones dialogue put alongside production that sounds like stock fantasy music that you would find on YouTube. And after listening to this album, I love it. Don’t get me wrong it’s terrible but it’s the best thing ever like it is so god damn funny. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to listen to a so bad it’s good record. It’s sad that it hasn’t been getting mainstream attention because it is such a “great” album!😊😂

Honestly just seeing Kanye at this point just makes me sad. One of the most influential artists of our generation devolved into... this. This pathetic, self-important nonsense that long since gave up on anything but stroking Kanye's massive ego. I honestly just hope he gets help soon and drops from public eye. The man needs it and I would rather him retire now and save what little credibility and honor his legacy had than ruin it all with these statements. But he won't. No, his managers and fans are going to keep feeding into him until it reaches a boiling point and god knows when. It just makes me sad. I can't even listen to his music anymore without thinking of it. I mean I still enjoy his records don't get me wrong but... it's still there.

@Paul Tapping I respectfully disagree. At least in relation to his earlier work. I will admit he was always an asshole and he had one hell of an ego but I always thought he was able to properly back it up with really damn good music and narratives and stories anyone could relate to. Or just being so over the top you couldn't help but sing along and enjoy it. His ego, for better or for worse, defined alot of his career. Unfortunately, as we've seen recently, that can easily turn into your greatest enemy as much as your greatest ally...

Considering how purple and flowery the nonsense lyrics of the Iced Earth album are, its hilarious they gave it the dry name "A Narrative Soundscape." It's almost like "An Orchestral Rock Concept Album."

Interestingly, the lyrics are all from songs they’ve written before, some if which are actually pretty good - just shows the importance of context on how lyrics come over. Like in this album they’re cringe as hell but the original version of Dystopia is actually really good imo, But no this one is just… 😂

I loved X. I don't think it's really fair to compare WLR to Opium's other albums, because WLR was an introduction to the world of Opium/homixide, and/or rage music. It encompasses the highly energetic moshpit tracks, the gang shit, and then the chill atmospheric stuff. But X or No stylist or Homixide lifestyle are reinterpretations of the things listed above. And it's also the fact that X doesn't have a focus on lyrics or production in that sense because the album is meant for moshing. Just look at the XMAN tour. The album's goal is banging basses, some catchy lyrics and trippy synths, just so the opium fans can just mosh, not give a fuck and have fun in the concerts. So of course in terms of creatively or musically, X is not that good of an album, but it does achieve its intended goal.
