    Why is it a writer of such great instrumental music would think adding vocals would in some way improve said music? The vocals on this record are truly awful, and make the whole record sound like some generic millenial pop rubbish. Whatever good music there might be on this record it's obscured by some horrible caterwauling that is quite painful to listen to.

Such as massive disappointment and the first Tycho album i will not be buying, Just glad i got to hear it before i wasted my money. Expand

    The vocals. Why oh why would he do this? It would be one thing if he featured Bjork or even someone like Dido, but the female here hits no alto, soprano or the like... She sounds like a teenage girl singing high pitched, unconfident and off key in the shower. What a shame, but at least his previous records are great.

    It's a good album. Lyrics are meh, but the singing is great. Tycho's sound is still here and he'd doing more elaborate drums. He does some clean break beat stuff. He's getting stronger. Probably should have been sold as a side project tho. People seem pissed off about this one. hahahah

    All of Tycho's previous work had a mysticism of the world and planets incorporated.
    With weather his music is simplified, and the lyrics point me in directions i don't want to go. Talking about diets and Japan. It is not what is used to be. I don't mind incorporating voices. I do mind babbling about simplified issues like a teenager. When the music normally was very intricate and in

I do mind babbling about simplified issues like a teenager. When the music normally was very intricate and in depth, now they are just samey as any other band with a singer. The music normally involved universes and worlds. Now it is a chill teen thinking about her body and travels and love. For me Tycho was more than that. I probably read too much in his music. Shame.

    During its most striking moments, Weather is yet another example of Scott Hansen’s musical craftsmanship and excitingly it clearly illustrates the validity of his collaborative efforts with other musical artists. However the weighting on Weather is at times off-kilter and inconsistent, if Hansen can rectify and master this in future projects, he will likely be making the best music of his career.

    Tycho never loses sight of what he is known for: the skillful mastery of crafting brilliant ambient soundscapes from bare computer programs. And believe it or not, his sound here is that much more captivating.

    He shows he can incorporate all of his signature elements into a traditional pop song structure without having to compromise the core, distinctive elements that make him such an innovative and intriguing artist.
