this is an impressive crossover of all things experimental, packed with catchy rap cuts and disgusting drum breaks. the whole thing’s got such a distorted, blown-out, and in-your-face identity, and it’s one that i’ll definitely find myself returning to when the mood calls for it. outstanding stuff!!!
