Interesting cover. 😀. The music is rubbish noise. 😝

...that's the way it is with sophisticated music: you have to listen to it several times to like it 😉
That you have to like the style, which I would classify as progressive, is of course a prerequisite.

And take comfort: I don't (always) like your commercial music either 🥱😁

That's okay 😬. I'm just too long in the tooth to hear & see anything 'progressive' in contemporary music. You like it so enjoy. I doubt any of it will endure beyond a few years & will suffer the same fate as 1000s of crap tunes from the 60s onwards. Sophistication has nothing to do with it.

However, there have been moments when the music could genuinely be described as progressive, eg. Music protesting against war (particularly Vietnam), blues protesting race discrimination, punk music, some German New Wave, etc. These had an impact on societal change. Almost certainly some contemporary music/bands will be seen in retrospect as having had a progressive impact. I admit that I don't hear or see it as yet...

Enough said 😁
 
From Bochum, Germany.
Even as older gentlemen they are fun. Bit stiff and quite sure its for the money. Will not create much of that. But for so many nights with "Bruttosozialprodukt" I am thankful. 😂

I agree with you that as someone in my late 50s I find it increasingly difficult to accept and approve of new things... And if I do, then the bands usually often consist of members you know from your youth.
Fortunately, however, there are still enough talented bands that stand out from the crowd.
I at least hope that you agree with me that it's simply pointless to argue about taste 😉
 
Was expecting this release from today as another masterpiece from a mastermind and at least the most important album for this week 😉. First thought was: You have heard that many times before. Possibly it needs a few more sessions.

Jonathan Hultén (Sweden) , latest release (Jan 2025).

"......Eyes Of The Living Night' delves deep into the human spirit. Merging the raw emotion of his earlier work with a more expansive, otherworldly sound, Jonathan Hulten has created an album that shimmers, taking listeners through the decades of rock, synthpop, blues & folk on a journey best described as "Ambient Dream-grunge". "His multi-tracked vocals make for goosebump-raising ASMR......" - Classic Rock"

(Formerly lead guitarist with Tribulation, his 2020 debut album 'Chants From Another Place' is essential)
