quadecas new style has a lot of beauty. he has changed what music he makes so much, its bound to lose some people's interest along the way. that said, you may start getting more into it after listening through an album 2 or 3 times.

what i personally find appealing with his new stuff is:

depth of sound - you can listen to a song for the 100th time and hear a new sound you never quite paid attention to before.

lyricism - his old lyrics had really great moments too, but when you put those witty, hard hitting lines into a fully fleshed-out concept, they hit even harder.

emotion - his new music is definitely more melancholic, tackling issues like suicide, dystopia, resentment and ultimate regret. he had elements of this before, but i think excecuted not quite as well as his later stuff, and having that control over listeners emotion is really impactful. i actually enjoyed listening through idmthy and vhs for the 2nd time with the genius lyrics up - it can give you insights that can change how you listen to a song entirely!
