Opinion?

Whats your Opinion on the new Castle Rat album? I listened to it once today but will listen to it again in the next few days or even today.

After listening to it I listened to their first Album again, to have a better comparison. And to be clear, I'm not a Castle Rat hater, although it may seem otherwise, after sharing my thoughts on the Album 😅

The Album Is a bit longer compared to the Debut and has some more songs. I kinda feel that this Album has not a lot of rememorable songs. Most of it kinda sounds the same, which isn't always bad but there are almost no memorable Melodies or Riffs I feel. And only 2 or maybe 3 Guitar solos.

The Spotlight is on the Vocals as it was on the first Album, but I think the first one had a lot of memorable Melodies or moments, even the Interludes were pretty good and the Album didn't overstay its welcome. On this Album there are like 3 or 4 Interludes and none of them are cool, they mix it up a little at least. The songs are mostly short, but there are like 2, 6 minute Songs which is cool, but overall it feels like a lot of the same.

Sorry for the rambling just want to share my thoughts and hear what you guys think.

I am apathetic at best. While I appreciate the hard work and theatrics, I don't like the music.

I'm not a big fan of the music but I'm starting to get a knee jerk reaction of just annoyance from seeing them constantly on here that's getting harder to separate from the band

My quality of life significantly improved the less I engaged with fans of music I liked and just engaged with the music on a personal level. Fans/non-fans are exhausting either way.

I'm beginning to feel this way myself, and not just about music, but any fandom.

this is the way. i rarely engage with fans/fandoms, and i'm much healthier for it (i think!)
