While this isn’t quite my AOTY (though it’s close), it IS my highest recommendation of the year so far bc I know so many users who’d love it. If there's one 2024 release among the 684 I’ve heard so far that AOTY users NEED to hear, it’s this. I’d have to spend way longer to fully do the album justice with a review, but just trust me on this one. Doxophobia has created something boundary-pushing, dynamic, engaging, and one THOUSAND percent worth your time.

this might be the single best album ive heard this year, theres so much to digest here and every single time ive listened to it thus far , my jaw has been on the floor the entire time. some parts leave me physically uncomfortable (which an album has never done before) and some parts are so mindblowingly intense that it almost crosses into pure absurdity, but it keeps you hooked.

What I get from the album is that Doxophobia had a lot of fun making this, unfortunately that's about as much as the album does for me, it does have a lot of charm considering this is a solo project, but it does kind of drag towards the end and gets quite hard to persevere through.
