The Approbation 2023

"Very well made. Musicianship and production are top-notch. The clean vocals do not convince me, they're whiny in a Steven Wilson sense, which does not go well with the otherwise epic/serene feel.

All in all this is much too derivative for me. It is perfectly fine to be inspired by other artists, but you also need to add interesting elements of your own, or combine influences in really interesting ways. This is just citations after citations, and without any attribution, no less."
