It’s not good.

The lyrics are interesting, and I like a lot of the themes that the songs approach, but this album is just so boring.

The production is weird, not that unique in the genre really, but still. Being weird and different isn’t enough to make good music.

I feel like there’s nothing to hold on to, every song feels so similar, like a never-ending buzz. The album isn’t even that long, but it feels like HOURS…

There are some nice cuts, like FaceTime, but most of the songs are just billy rapping with that monotonous tone of his, non-stop. And there’s 17 tracks on this thing, yikes. His lines aren’t even that good, he keeps rhyming every fucking line. Makes everything sound like that lyrical miracle stereotype. Ew. DOOM from Wish.

This album feels like staring at a wall while the washing machine is running.

What do you think?

Best song: FaceTime
Worst song: Soft Landing
Rating: 2/5

    This album and Aethiopes are two of my favorite recent rap albums. Billy woods’ verses are good enough but never that impressive to me though. For me it’s the production and the features that make both of these albums great. The ELUCID verses, ShrapKnel on Babylon by Bus, Boldy James on Sauvage, Quelle Chris, Danny Brown are all awesome features.
