BUT (faint praise) while the songcraft is absolutely nothing compared to the old days, it's more agreeable than the majority of SP 2.0. The fact that a portion of songs aren't completely unlistenable or cringey/ear shattering like 90% of the output from the last 20 years (fuuuuuuuck), is.... something?. Obviously it suffers from being wayyyyy too long and being wayyyy too samey-samey without enough interesting instrumentation within the songs themselves and differentiation from track-to-track. Which makes whatever potential the band has in 2020/21, get completely lost in the bloat. FWIW, I cut and rearranged a new tracklist -- that no one wants -- but makes it feel like a more concise, dynamic album. Your mileage may vary, but hey, it works better than the actual release: 01. Telegenix 02. Purple Blood 03. Birch Grove 04. Save Your Tears 05. Anno Satana 06. Black Forest, Black Hills 07. Haunted 08. Tyger, Tyger 09. Cyr 10. The Colour of Love 11. Wrath 12. Schaudenfreud (also it's been about 500 million years since I've logged in or posted here, and I'm properly ashamed of myself for the need to post this. *Shakes fist at the sky*) |

Cyr is interesting in that I think they absolutely nailed what they were going for, maybe for the first time since Machina. They didn't fail to make a good album - they succeeded in making a bad one.

After not listening to either Shiny or Cyr since last fall, Cyr at least sounds like a realized vision. Shiny sounds so half-assed. However, Cyr still sounds, essentially, like the same one or two song ideas recycled ad nauseam. Shiny seemed to have more going on in terms of ideas, but barely. At least it is easier to ignore the content of his lyrics.

OK, maybe Anno Satana counts as its own idea, but the lady choruses and upper-drum beat make it sound like all the other songs.

Take the song Starrcraft. Is there is anything in that song that isn't also done elsewhere on the album? Maybe that weird laughing sound, but the song is completely unremarkable. I bet Billy doesn't even remember it.

Well, this is awkward.
Listening to Still Becoming Apart and ... Cyr blows in comparison. I think the main reason why I actually liked Cyr is cos I haven't listening to OG pumpkins in so long. |
