      I missed the original comment, but surprised that someone was gatekeeping this album if any. It’s definitely goth-y possibly to the point of being overwrought. I like the guy’s voice but preferred the instrumental, I kinda wish he’d take a more dark-ambient approach, maybe with briefer verses recited instead of sung.

          Yeah… if I had to guess, I’d say they’re either heavily filtering it, or completely generating it. Their album covers all look AI-generated and the albums all came out within the last year. I vaguely remembering checking out the suno music generator last summer, and I think it could have produced songs like this. There’s not much info on a nine9fingers except for a reddit post and some discussion board posts from that username. The lyrics and album descriptions kind of have a generated feel too.

          Hard to know how to feel about these things. I took a closer look at the SINE album/single cover I posted earlier, and that looks AI-generated too – check out the fingers on the left individual and the wrist on the right individual. I think SINE’s a real person, but now I’m starting to doubt everything…

              AI music, no thanks.

              Well, turning a knob to change the tone or a beat being generated, that’s OK. Turning a virtual knob, OK too. Providing some words and getting a tone or beat, that might be cool, depends how it’s trained and implemented. That’s the kind of thing I was hoping for when I checked out the suno music generator. But no, it was just: give it a couple words as a prompt and it’d generate an entire song, including lyrics and cover art. Seriously, you could just say “rock song about owls” and it’d give you three songs to choose from. If you provided lyrics and/or described a genre it’d make the music match them as best it could. And it all sounded realistic enough, but yeah, just very cliche.
