I keep running into people (both musicians and non,) who are obsessed with ST. I listen to a very wide range of music, so its odd for me that I wouldn't like it, but the best way I can describe it is it sounds exactly how id describe AI music. Just gives me a gross feeling.

Not hating. I guess im wondering why people like it so much compared to other groups and why the hype is so big. Is it the whole secretive thing? Ghost and a thousand other groups already did that, its nothing new.

It seems like their live productions are pretty cool. But again, it really looks to be rehashed Ghost but with worse songwriting.

I think he's a talented vocalist in his style but I personally hate his voice. I am averse to the whole getting up real close on the mic and using vocal fry and grunts to convey that you have sooo much emotion.

Again, just a Lil rant, but also wanted to spur actual discussion

Id recommend listening to them before you decide. This is just my take, and maybe im hearing it in a totally wrong way.

If you describe it as sounding like “Ai music”, I don’t think I will.

I’m also immediately turned off by hype trains nowadays. No product getting released deserves the kind of hype that corporate slop gets these days. Labubu, sneakers, NFTs, battle passes, celebrity de jure, it’s all scams to get you to consume more.

Consume!!! More!!! CONSUME!!!!!!

I also am immediately turned off by hype; however some things hyped are actually good. Its rare though.

I trust personal recommendations from actual people in real life that might be excited for something good.

In no way do I believe anything getting hyped from mainstream social media isn’t just a paid marketing campaign at this point. With the amount of paid for bots on basically every platform and now Ai slop accelerating that mess, it’s only going to get worse.
