This album is beautiful, it feels so raw and vulnerable, even for an album under half an hour, there is so much intimacy here that I can interpret as a desperate call for love. A feeling that something in your life is wrong, and that this person may be the one to fix it. the gentlest but also most powerful synth chords, soft vocals that are mixed to make it sound like she is singing right in your ear, and a lack of any kind of percussion gives it a serious feeling of resignation I guess.

Very clearly inspired, but to a point that is hard to separate it from its predecessors
I hate using the word “vibe” in any context, but this album really does just have a certain energy to it
passable chiptune music, it just feels homogenous and not at all representative of what they'd do later. It's a far cry from the almost synth rock/witch house sound that defines II, III and Amnesty. it's not boring but its certainly not for me, and a little simplistic.
I had an ipod when I was little, and like everyone that did, this shit refused to leave it. My fourth grade science teacher mentioned that she loved u2, so I folded and listened to it. I distinctly remember it making me son angry and hating it so much that I asked my grandma to take me to church with her for the first and last time ever.
Lost within the glitches and the static snow and the sounds that can only be described as “threats to software” there is a groove. And it is undeniable, whispering into your ears like a snake in the garden of eden, inviting you to delve deeper into it, to see how far it will go.
It’s very good, but not really my type of music that I’d go out of my way to listen to in my free time, I do like it, but I hope he keeps going with the electronica sound palette he built up on scrapyard, because there really is nothing like that.
Really good album, phenomenal storytelling with some excellent beats. The production here is as top tier as it gets, one of oh no’s best projects to date, everything is so tight and cohesive here. It just sounds great too, everything is mixed really well. It’s an enjoyable album on its own, but something I don’t really see mentioned how dark this album can be at points, the darkness does hide behind the grooves here sometimes, but it’s obvious at others, some the stories ... read more
I’m gonna do my best to rip into this fucking album because it deserves it.
As of writing this review, I am 17 years old, and received an official ASD diagnosis last year, and an ADHD diagnosis when I was 7 years old. These things, both in combination with each other, and the fact that I had a whole other condition that went unknown for almost a decade made much of my life hell.
The first time I went to the principles office was in first grade, because I called a friend of mine an ... read more
This album feels like an anti deathconsciousness, in that it reaches the same levels of intensity as that project, but here it is the result of the polar opposite emotions. Genuine euphoria, not drug induced but pulled from the very depths of your soul by life itself. Like staring into the sun and finally being able to see it in all its glory. Truly being able to comprehend its vast, awe inspiring nature without having to worry about your eyes anymore. How you got there though, is what this ... read more
This album is a back tattoo album to me. Meaning it’s one I’ve just heard over the course of a long period of time, but have just never actually listened to as a cohesive experience. This mainly being due to me being a queer woman who’s friend group is largely other queer women. Gotta say, now that I’ve listened to it in full, I get the appeal. I mean kinda. Oftentimes it’s looked at as a dream/ambient (ish) pop album, but I think that overlooks a lot of the value ... read more
An essential album for both the entire medium of rap and the sub genre it helped spawn that is unfortunately partly ruined by some horrible misogyny and homophobia.

"@TreadCarefully "it ain't that deep" does it have to be? the only people who say that shit are cowards afraid of subtext or having genuine conversations. The album is a celebration of west coast music and tradition. If your if your conception of it is just "not like us" then your ideas of west coast music are ridiculously shallow. Also, you giving it a positive review doesn't make you invulnerable to any criticisms of your headass takes."
