i really wanted to like this but oh my god this is like the most repetitive album ive ever listened to😭
there was some cool production, but it is unfortunately drowned out by these awful vocals, which is my biggest gripe with this whole album
the high pitched effect on nearly every song makes him sound like a fucking mosquito and it just ruins what couldve been some otherwise atleast decent songs
the flows are cool too but also very very repetitive

while this albums concept and backstory is really cool, the music itself is just really nothing interesting

overall just a very empty album, another one i probably wont be coming back to often

this was.. an experience
this is definitely an intriguing album, but i dont see any chance in hell i revisit like 90% of these songs
everything weird about this band before gets cranked up to 100 on this, and it definitely leaves an interesting result
but unfortunately alot of these songs just feel like they were trying to be weird just for the sake of being weird
