Too much positivity here...
I dunno guys, these 30 seconds each sound more uninspired than the last. I can clearly hear all the old DT songs they stole from
From a listeners point of view, what does "uninspired" even mean? Please define as when I see people say they want the band to be inspired, it always puzzles me what the listener is wanting.
Rik Emmett once said, "inspiration as a source of creativity, is overrated" and he was talking from a musician's point of view.
Inspiration can come from many things. Even a sound of water hitting the river banks can be inspiring. The musicians muse.
Also, an artist can conjure up a better inspiration story as they might feel the real story is, boring.
Uninspired to me means, just going up there and playing whatever without no muse or passion involved with creating the song. Completely opposite of what DT did with AVFTToTW. Their passion is shown by their words and we'll see it being shown to us live, soon.
I do not even know of any musician that has recorded and released an uninspired song. I would think those would not be recorded and may be deemed unworthy by the musician themselves, especially someone like Steven Wilson.
Something has to inspire the musicians to want to spend all that hard work and time creating an album.
