I usually walk away from a JPEGMAFIA album with a handful of songs that I'm at least a little bit obsessed with. Not this time.
A few lazy choruses aside, I really dig how diverse the production can sound at times, especially compared to other underground hip hop albums around this period.
The perfect album to listen to on a cold rainy day. It's a mood-fest for sure.
Some catchy production here and there, with the occasional duds. But it's a banger.
They really nailed their signature art direction on the first go.
What I respect about the music itself is that it knows what it wants to be. Bluesy flavors with fuzzy garage rock. Nothing more, nothing less.
A pretty good debut by the garage rock revivalists. Not as memorable as their later efforts, but still very competent.
That last quarter of tracks doesn't really do this album any favors. But the rest is stylish, groovy, and so thick with moody blues.
