Isaiah is caught between two doors; Either a traditional rap-focused record or a worldbuilding record, more focused on mood than bars. This record ends up being a half-step, half the record filled with the hip-hop zeitgeist the other half being the record Isaiah's sound has been building towards since Cilvia.
Reading the reviews so far, it makes sense to me why this album is split in two, the majority of hip-hop fans want the "bangers" and aren't interested in "atmosphere". ... read more

2021 update: Original score 74
"Holy Ghost" has a vocal loop reminiscent of Gorillaz with a dragging guitar rift you'd easily see on a Radiohead deep cut, quite the way to start a rap album. Rocky's verse is meditative rummaging around forms of religion and how detached the church has become to the community his narrative starts from, it's well structured to me, a track that has aged well

Not much to say here, a record to experience. Does feel like an album that sways left to right in its heartbreak again joining the ever-growing list of gorgeous female singer-songwriters. The amount of emotion held in each "echo" fuck.
My favourite written album of 2021 without ever reading the lyrics.

My favourite iteration of Vince, gorgeous production, introspective lyricism and honesty in the way our environments shape us. It's not some burden-proof record or hip-hop fragmented piece of art, its an artist painting with his brush, in all his thoughts and feelings.
Stories of trauma turned mediations on how the simple life, is all that's wanted for a damaged people, I relate all the way.

Re-imagined album tracklists, its a childhood hobby to wash out the "overplayed" strain and breathe new colour into albums as a re-experience.
