Iotunn’s Access All Worlds was my well-deserved Album of the Year in 2021 and reached third place in the aggregate list, so expectations for Kinship are through the stratosphere.” Kin and kinslayers.

And given my history of fickle tastes that shift like the wind, one can only assume that I hate the followup, right?
