after finding this album a year or two ago and listening to the first half, and not being able to get through, i must say that this genuinely is one of the most interesting albums ive listened to. i might give a proper full review on this someday, because although i wouldnt say the music itself is fantastic on each track, its incredibly interesting and worth to talk about
loved this album when I was younger, but not quite my taste anymore, still absolutely fantastic though
honestly, rating this album makes me feel guilty. its such an emotional piece and incredibly heartbreaking, however shes made true art out of her experience and im glad to have heard it

rerate because this is even more goated than i remember. holy shit is below the salt one of the best tracks ive ever heard

my review copied from rym:
this was a depressing listen. the contrast between the light chimy bells? (idfk) and the noisy and saddening atmosphere, the difference between the uplifting sound of this album paired with the vocals that want it to be over, this is a piece of art and it's truly a shame that Kai had passed so young. it's quite eerie (idrk how to put it) to know that he was only a year older than i am, mental health issues and suicidal thoughts can happen to anyone regardless of ... read more
there are people out there who say music is meant for everybody.
i dont think they were expecting this abomination 😭😭😭😭
omg was this spectacular, definitely going to relisten and i doubt i wont rerate this higher
