I keep running into people (both musicians and non,) who are obsessed with ST. I listen to a very wide range of music, so its odd for me that I wouldn’t like it, but the best way I can describe it is it sounds exactly how id describe AI music. Just gives me a gross feeling.

Not hating. I guess im wondering why people like it so much compared to other groups and why the hype is so big. Is it the whole secretive thing? Ghost and a thousand other groups already did that, its nothing new.

It seems like their live productions are pretty cool. But again, it really looks to be rehashed Ghost but with worse songwriting.

I think he’s a talented vocalist in his style but I personally hate his voice. I am averse to the whole getting up real close on the mic and using vocal fry and grunts to convey that you have sooo much emotion.

Again, just a Lil rant, but also wanted to spur actual discussion

    You are doing yourself a disservice to not give it a shot. I’ve disregarded tons of artists only to come back years later and find I actually really liked it.

    So now, unless it’s absolutely grating, I will listen to a song from a new artist in it’s entirety. If it’s “meh” or better, I’ll listen to a second song in its entirety. Repeat until I decide if I like it.

    My goal is usually to listen to an entire album, though I don’t expect others to be that masochistic.

    I highly recommend it. I actually did this for Sleep Token last year and decided that I did indeed I hate it but I still think it was worthwhile.

      With the absolute wave of sludge content out there you have to have some sort of filter. Especially now with the onslaught of Ai slop being spammed onto the internet.

      I give new music a shot if it comes from one of my trusted sources. TikTok and social media hype is not a trustworthy source for quality media.

      People deserve an adblocker for the stuff they consume. You don’t have to watch a show or play a game that you don’t enjoy. Same with music.
