This feels like more of the same. It’s good but it’s very similar to the previous offerings. Sometimes I wonder if my habit of binging an artist over the course of a week or so hinders the experience of the later albums I listen to since most artists don’t have dramatic differences between each album. Just a rhetorical question I thought of. I am looking forward to the next album by them as it’s one that I recall seeing highly praised by the fanbase, and perhaps is a full concept album. But I don’t know if that will be tomorrow’s album since tomorrow is album number 200 for the year. I only put out a single post on here daily but I do keep track when I listen to other albums, it would appear I’ve had 28 additional albums beyond one a day. At this rate I will not reach 400 by years end, which wasn’t a goal but I am a bit curious as to how many I can listen to at this point, and I found out I may have some down time in the not too far future that will give me potentially additional opportunities to listen.
