A certified classic review.
I have sat with people that do not understand or appreciate the sound and history behind this album, usually being in North America. It is understandable, Grime can be an acquired taste at times and maybe like so many albums and artists before, it matters on the time period and sound at the time.
But this piece of music, just has so much depth and reason for it's deserving title. Dylan Mills recorded and released this album before he even left his teenage years, ... read more
