im so glad this album is not on spotify but i miss it

it's funny, for an album called *EXPERIMENTAL RAP* i enjoy the most commercial moments off of it.

i was really more positive about this album than a lot of people were. the singles were solid, showcasing a somewhat more catchy direction while still holding true to the peggy classic sound at times, and the album art looked interesting. but i gotta say, 25 different song ideas really got boring. and most of them were sub 2 minutes, too. so the good song ideas were either cut too soon or ... read more

this composition is so heavenly, i love how it starts out crushing you with sound and then drops into a quaint little groove. the progression is just immaculate, bringing back that earlier horn melody for the chorus and starting to intensify every emotion through performances and added layers. and then the outro brings back the wall of sound oh my god oh my god

it's so lyrically suave too, like who knew quadeca had this much SWAGGER in him. he doesn't fucking miss.

this is fucking incredible. i love live drums and digicore aesthetics mixed, that guitar part is KILLING MEEEEE thank you slayr for saving the underground again

this is the "vampire" of this album.

"the cure" is olivia's longest song by a mile, and also an incredibly well written one. the progression is slow, deliberate evolving from a catchy acoustic strum into screams, drums, singing, and strings that glide across the beautiful refrain: "my head is full of poison and my heart is full of doubt // i got toxins in my bloodstream you tried so hard to suck out". this is a killer of a track emotionally, finding olivia ... read more

the noisier direction of the last two singles has me hype as hell

every 6 seconds on this track i go "this is dogshit" and then immediately after i go "this beat is incredible and bladee is really catchy" and the cycle repeats

what the hell is this peggy

why does the intro feel like drake ai. what's going on. what are we doing. (tucker carlson voice).

i mean nobody expected the lyrics to be good here, but every beat on this album feels like it came out of a ten minute brainstorming session with a single melodic idea that never got expanded on. except "Slap The City", that one's got a decent beat. again, drake is not sexy or anything over it though. the feature has a nice hook i guess. that's pretty much the only good ... read more

oh, he definitely didn't mature.

drake.

i did not need a weird ass album that feels like it's baiting wedding parties for white people who've never met a caribbean person in their lives.

i did not need dancehall for 45 minutes from a canadian who doesn't know how to make good dancehall.

and i most definitely did NOT need to hear sexyy red interpolate the cha cha slide and make it into a song about shaking your ass.

fuck you.

"sometimes I only see myself in my therapist glasses // but I'm not taking it serious 'cause she's very attractive"

okay.

this album is just so demoralizing. i feel a genuine sense of pain hearing every track, it's so middling it hurts. that line on the first song about his dad having cancer i think is the most empathetic i felt throughout this album. i just don't give a shit. truly. no beats on this album caught my attention that much for more than a few ... read more

that weird arpeggio is everything to me

this has gotta be a bit, but it is a kinda bad one regardless.

just went to Epic for the first time. i think this soundtrack helped make Dark World my favorite land at the park, so, well done danny.

oh my GOD

bars on bars on bars

beat lacking a bit of thickness, bars are a little awkward at points, but it's solid. rooting for you zay!!!

weird as fuck, in a good way. i dont understand yall being like "peggy lost it". he is kinda kanyeing a bit, but hopefully the music doesn't suffer as a result. there's no signs of that thus far.

quick thoughts: some real flashes of brilliance in this album, "Alrighty Aphrodite" and "Private Presley" among them. i don't like that "Tommy's Party" is the closer, it drags on for so long and detracts from how amazing its predecessor was. the sound of this album also can get a tad tiring throughout. alas, the 2010s indie curse.

i love converge.
