Looking for musical inspiration?

i don't see what the fuss is about..i thought the tracks were extremely bland. after reading the story i expected some influence from the isolation and environment he put himself in. i didn't hear it, not even minimally (excuse the pun).

yes this is an opinion, but i think it's probably shared. does anyone on here disagree? if so, what makes the tracks interesting? where's the canadian wilderness in them?

When you can actually hear or feel an influence in something, it generally doesn't have to be mentioned in pre-hype to the album. Honestly, it was the hype that completely turned me off to even bother listening. Kids with laptops touring the country while convenient and chasing fame in the process was the same thing as the beat generation as described in On the Road? No, not at all. Unlike the people in the story told in On the Road, this guy with his tent, laptop and hype around his record had a direction he was taking that he already knew, which seems to be more about sales than exploration, and it's now in the exploitation-towards-sales phase.

Obviously, as it's on minus...
