it's a very somber track and the vocal delivery is fantastic, but the lyrics dude. this song made for an extremely uncomfortable listen for someone who speaks swedish. this might have to do with me not really listening to songs from my own country, but still. and if anyone wondered, the lyrics are ass.
wash us in the blood is the first single from ye's tenth album, and it's pretty good. the beat bangs, and the refrain that comes around on the pre-chorus bounces of the instrumental really well. i personally dont have a problem with the mixing, the different strenghts on the vocals during the second bridge is a bit odd, but aside from that part there aren't any sections i have a problem with regarding the mixing. i also find the lyrical theme of the track quite captivating, as in the first and ... read more
if what people often say in these chaotic times, that we hopefully will get good music out of this, then RTJ4 has set a very high standard for the sounds to come.
also the "stay sunny" part on JU$T might be the best ad-lib i've ever heard
this is a song that i deeply admire, the production is close to perfect as it paints a vivid picture of calming yet busy atmosphere that slowthai can lay his introspective bars over. this is my favourite slowthai song, and one of my fav songs period.
edit: idk if you can classify this as a single, i just thought this song deserved to be highlighted among all of slowthais other craft
freddie definitely brings his a-game on this record, the quality of the lyrics is consistently good. my problem with this record, however is alchemist's beats. this opinion is entirely subjective however, i can appreciate the gritty and minimal production, but it's just not for me. there are not a lot going on, and most of the time it's just a sample-loop without any progression or anything. if you loved this. then i applaud you for finding a good record. me, however, thinks this LP is just ... read more

some great melodies and production throughout the album, but the real bottleneck of the LP is the lyrics. They are messy, and a bit awkward. This album really feels rushed. There are however some nice bops, like Forever and c2.0.
very slick flow and funny lyrics, the outro is a bit meh tho
edit [orig score 79] its so cleeeeaaan
not a fan of electric guitars in general, but the bars are very tight, nothing special tho
