Music Banter - View Single Post - Trollheart Listens to Every Album on Wiki's List for 2017

Trollheart · 09-21-2017, 05:18 PM

Album title: Rennen
Artist: SOHN
Genre: Electronic/R&B/Ambient (it says here)
Nationality: English
Release date: January 13
Position in Discography: Second
Fear Factor: Indeterminate
Familiar with this artist? No
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No; it's a bit of a mixed genre bag really
Check out more from this artist? Probably not
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? I guess
I have to say I didn't expect this. The genre tags do mention R&B, and there's a deal of that here for sure, but they also say electronic (which again I can see) but ambient? No, I don't hear that anywhere, at least so far, and I'm halfway through the album. Speaking of being halfway through, I'm not that impressed. It's not that it's bad, it's just .... not interesting. Not feeling it. To be fair, the title track and the following one “Falling” are better than what's gone previously, but I'm still not being really drawn in any way into this. I'll be happy when it's over. I don't hate it, I just have no real interest in it. It does improve more towards the end, to be fair. Maybe a few more listens? If only I had the time. Or perhaps not.

Edit: **** it. I posted before the album had completed and it got really a lot better then, so I'm updating the rating.

Expectation Index: n/a
