Same here.

What I hear on this record is gorgeous soundscapes, lively music, skilled singers putting their own spin on each individual tune. There's even a lot of musical detail here and everything sounds rich and impeccably clearly recorded. I love recordings where I can hear every detail. No mud or fuzz. The way classical music is typically recorded, essentially.

I respect that. Thing is that I've heard this kind of thing done far too many times and have never really cared for the sound. It is most definitely meticulous, well-produced, and the musicians are practiced, but that doesn't change how unimaginative and trite I find this record.

Whether or not anyone here is phoning it in or performing with passion is going to have to remain a subjective judgment, but there's no doubt that I'm hearing the latter.

Idk if phoning it in is quite the right way to put it. I think it's more that their philosophy of music centres on being "right" and being more imitative than individual.
