Listened to this with @CassetteDeck
The way we both genuinely screamed "NO" the second we heard Fake Plastic Trees 😭
I can see the potential here, but the mix is atrocious. I felt the same way with ‘playing w/ fire’: redveil is constantly shouting over the production, and the drums are so blown-out that there were moments I genuinely wondered if my headphones were damaged. On top of that, I’m really not a fan of half the tracks playing more like interludes than full songs. It’s disappointing to see Jazz Rap treated so loosely and starting to feel like a throwaway genre in recent years.
Nigel Godrich is still an absolute BEAST of a producer. Bow Down sounded unbelievable
I would've liked this and named it possibly his best work if Momenat didn't lock me in his basement and force me to listen to this on repeat for the past 24 hours
