Peasant

At its best it sounds like Arcade Fire workshopping their sound before their first album. At worst it’s Ren Fair knights and ladies fantasy.

Horrible

This was awful. Atonal, rambling garbage.

This album was torture. The lead singer cannot sing for shit and his lyrics were so garbled it sounded like those videos that show what English sounds like to non speakers. The music itself sounded rough. Not good.

Really? I can understand experimental stuff, but really?

I really struggled with Peasant because the arrangements are so weird and it gets off to a terrible start with Herald, a song I can only imagine is there to troll you or deliberately piss you off. It's fart noises for a pretentious audience. Anyway, it improves from an impossibly low bar but it's just weird, there are times I can see what it's about like the back half of Weaver, and he has a voice that commands you pay attention to it at least, but most of this is either really bad or just so far from what I like that I don't want to listen to it. 1/5.

Eh. I appreciate the Canterbury Tales feel of this album but the wandering and whining vocals and the strange strings just irritate.

Don’t get it.

Drunken out-of-tune street minstrel.

Come on now. Seriously??

Imagine going to a restaurant and you asked for a recommendation and they gave you one. But it turns out it was just dog shit on a plate. That's what listening to this User Recommendation was. Who honestly thought this was a great album or one people should actually listen to?

Didn’t enjoy any of this. Muddled music and sounds. Poor vocals. Couldn’t follow many of the character’s stories. Not the kind of folk music I enjoy or care for.
