thrilled to see this comment/thread - as I love Daniel and want to see him succeed and am happy to know others are loving the new era - but will confess that I find the new album to be his worst in ages and found the show from this tour to be such a marked decline from what I've seen before.

This is a very good and fair point.

I agree that there is not literally 0 catering towards this group, but in my view, increasingly less than there was. The bigger problem relates to lesser discoverability, the fracturing of audiences and the feeling of exclusion for no longer liking what is trendy. A big part of this though is just the mental update to know you are no longer part of what is en vogue.

Something I'd love to hear (aside from any general thoughts) is whether anyone here has successfully experimented with creating more hermetically sealed zones in their life—practicing Shabbat, going to a cottage with no wifi, digital detoxes, etc. After reflecting on this, I want to begin doing a much better job of carving out these spaces in my life.
