that's just it for me; I can't really fathom what they're going for. I get it, if you're going for the cheese, then embrace it, but I don't get the sense that that's the goal; it doesn't seem like they're in on the joke. If they're not what's the end? It's not sexy, it's not "fun" music... I'm lost, frankly.
That exactly sums up Frontiers downward trajectory over the years and this 'artist' is no exception. It's almost satire or a parody of what the genre used to be about when it was good. But it's not a parody done on purpose at all. I think the label still thinks they are producing adequate material for the genre, completely oblivious to the fact it's watered down, horrible bullshit. I wonder what the artists think. I'm still convinced the comments are spewed out by AI or the company themselves, it can't be real fans of this stuff so putrid compared to what it used to be.
It's astounding guys like Magnus Karlsson are still contracted putting out records with them that still has credibility and are able to write decent music, but I think for those few left it would be a, 'meh, I'm getting paid to cycle some new songs out, so whatever.'
