Some of the strangest hip-hop music I've heard, comparable to something like a Coin Locker Kid. Crazy weird flows and verse structure with idiosyncratic beats, some songs just for fun, some with deep meanings hidden behind several layers of confusing and creative lyricism.

The best song on here is Me - Time (With The Pulmonary Palimpsest), aka Imaginary Places 2. Notice how it is by far the most played song with 4x more plays than the second most played, and over 1,000x more than just about everything else. What Driver needs to do is release an EP or short album just of him rapping over classical music samples.

A very abstract form of busdrivers music much like FOABT which is my favorite from him. This album might have its goofy moments that might be a little too much but overall it's carefreeness works to its benefit
