Let's start with an unpleasant one to rip off the bandaid:
#MostDisappointingAlbum: #Avkrvst - Waving at the Sky
https://album.link/t/427577926
I don't mind when influences are heard. I especially don't mind when said influences are #Opeth and #PorcupineTree.
I do mind tho when allegedly progressive bands do not progress and do not introduce their unique sound and style. I mean, do we need clones?
My expectations were high, given how much I enjoyed "The Approbation", but this one was quite a letdown.
Anyway, I really hope their next release will be different and we won't have another band as capable of renewal as, say, Soen. -
I'm browsing through my top artists of all time on last.fm, and I'm surprised at how few of the bands I've been listening to recently make the top of the list, and on the other hand, what bands are at the top.
Top 1 are #PorcupineTree. Well, OK, but it's been a while.
2 are #MachinaeSupremacy. Again, long time no listen.The list goes on. First "recent" band is #OrphanedLand at 7 and #LongDistanceCalling at 9. Then #OceansOfSlumber at 32. #Vola, impressively, is at 39.
We're already on page two now: #LaVelaPuerca is 55 and that was a very long time ago. 56 is #TheAnchoret (wheee) and 57 is #Wheel. #Avkrvst are at 66.

Tested for you*:
How do some of my favourite albums compare between normal listening and HQ listening with the good equipment:
- #TheAnchoret - It All Began With Loneliness: I do love this album, but with the Cayin DAP and Ultimate Ears earpieces there's nothing new in there. In that respect, disappointing.
- #Avkrvst - The Approbation: Really really extra very good, lots of previously unnoticed nuances, and a nice whoomp.
- #Earthside - Let The Truth Speak: Somewhere in between. -

Nächsten Freitag ist übrigens wieder #BandcampFriday. Evtl. lohnt es sich für den ein oder anderen ja auch, einfach mal durch den Katalog von #InsideOutMusic zu schauen, die haben inzwischen echt viel bei Bandcamp, viel geilen Scheiß!

Random thought, how do you even pronounce #Dvne? Since encountering #Avkrvst I know that bands like to replace u with v (in case of Avkrvst, they're inspired by Norwegian artist Kjell Aukrust). So is Dvne pronounced "Dune"? Because if I leave the v and try to pronounce that, it would be close to Daphne.
