CRITIC REVIEWS
80
For an artist who has long revelled in gruesome imagery and high concept, this feels like a surprise peek behind the curtain, and yet another sonic boundary crossed.
80
Taking heavy music to a whole new level is something only an anti-icon could do, and Ghostemane’s firecracker of a new record achieves just that.

Blanketed with Ghostemane’s staple nihilistic sound, Anti-Icon is ominous, unnerving, and an exhilarating experience.

The impression here is of someone who makes music as it comes, simply to get it out of himself, which gives Anti-Icon an impulsive, energised feel, without feeling dashed off or incomplete.

A sonic experience dripping with abrasion, Ghostemane’s eighth album in five years is another peek into the darkness that apparently lurks inside the rapper.
Original Outdated Review:
"This is the best Eric has ever sounded- by a landslide. This entire album is simply Ghostmane playing into his best qualities, cutting the fat from his previous records. The main issue I had with most of his previous albums (such as N/O/I/S/E and Hexada) was the filler and lack of cohesion. I feel like this is exactly what Ghostmane has been going for for a very long time, but he was never quite able to nail it until now. I was instantly sucked into this record ... read more
I can definitely see how Ghostemane sounds unique in the music sphere, with his mixture of industrial music in the style of Marilyn Manson (weird influence but ok) and hip-hop! This has definitely grown on me!
Brief Review: Solid trap metal record. Ghostemane knows his way around making bangers, and this album for the most part delivers quite well on that front. Second half leaves a lot to be desired tho, but apart from that, not a bad record.
Its the best underground metal/industrial/electronic/hip hop album ever. Filthiest sounds and cleanest production by Ghostemane yet. Amazing pacing and tracklist flows brilliantly.

its ok, for what's meant to be the BIG release. The mixing and sound is more robust and feels polished which is great! But Ghoste will always have that problem that his sound isn't that well suited for a 13 track album, shorter projects always suited him best(HUMAN ERR0R for example).
Still a decent album, worth a listen if u like some of his other work.
