No, how could it be, when the most sympatetic character in it is Sauron himself... :)

any Rings of Power fans here?

10 years ago, I had about 100 albums on my iPod, and that's all I was listening to, changing it once in a while. Now I have access to millions of albums on Spotify, and my mind always wants something new..

I often wonder whether it's really the music that's less memorable or out attention span that has diminished .. ?

I'm not so sure that it's a lack of memorability, but rather oversaturation... I remember back in the days when I started listening to metal, everything was new, fresh and exciting

Modern metal lacks memorability.

I feel the same way. The last album I had that with was Schammasch's Hearts of no Light. Ever since there's a lot of stuff coming out that I really like. But nothing I get addicted to.
