Whiny man sits down for 30 minutes and rambles on. Truly one of my least favourite styles of music. I don't know, nor do I care about what Drake is mumbling here.

They're all texturally bland and the closest they come to engaging songwriting is sloppily executed overly extended crescendos.
But what makes The Birthing so bad is just how derivative it remains. At ... read more
