Even the dullest moments on this album truly shine. Every note both sung and played just feels so perfectly groovy and poignant
Going back and listening to the songs sampled in classic tracks (in this case Jamie XX's Loud Places) can help discover some more great music. Not every instrumental track landed perfectly, but I'd still easily recommend this album to fans of Funk and Soul
Gwen Stefani the solo artist and Gwen Stefani the lead singer of No Doubt are NOT the same person. She was cloned and you cannot convince me otherwise
It aint a 90's Hip Hop album if there isn't a skit of oral sex that lasts WAY too long
For an EP with only 4 tracks, I wish I connected with more of them but even the songs I didn't love were still pretty decent
A lot more easy to digest than a good handful of Math Rock I've heard thanks to some more loose and fun grooves. I don't have much I dislike about this album, but I also just don't really go absolutely crazy for Proggy Jam Band type stuff so I enjoyed the album a decent bit but won't probably be returning much
Sometimes the vibe simply calls for whiny vocals over heavenly and slightly noisy instrumentals
Jane Remover is the only artist with the artistic genius to sample their own song in a different song and it bangs so hard
The whole thing just resonates groove and fun while remaining exceptionally tight and well-constructed
True to its name, this album is probably the most experimental and least accessible music that JPEGMAFIA has released in quite a while. I dont necessarily think that this always translates to it being GOOD, but I also dont think this album is quite as bad as the general consensus is.
Personally, I think most of the beats are really unique and interesting, which saves this album pretty heavily. Peggys rapping is fine, but he keeps a VERY consistent flow for essentially the whole runtime which ... read more
Saw the cover on my Spotify homepage and decided to listen for...no particular reason...
On his second album, Genesis Owusu moved away from the Hip Hop influence towards an entirely Synth Punk/Rock sound. I dont mind this switch in theory: The album is still both catchy and politically-guided, but with one less layer of influence, some of what made me really love his debut is missing
A classic and smooth Hip Hop listening experience. I think that the rawness and slightly higher energy of their previous album still makes me prefer it over this one, though
Deeply ahead of its time and creatively impressive for 85' but by todays standards I liked it without LOVING it
Not an album I might bend over backwards to defend, but I had a really great time listening and that's really what the purpose of it is all about in my mind
not as good as their incredible debut, but still manages to do everything that they do best: grand, captivating walls of sound with a deeply emotional overtone
Nothing about this album makes much sense nor does it try to. Ween, as their reputation indicates, kind of just do whatever the fuck they want and as a result, have earned widespread critical acclaim.
Not only their most popular album, but also a great summation of all Ween does. The psychedelic instrumentals are aquatic and often breathtaking. The vocals are often soaked in audio effects, and the lyrics can range from crass to shockingly emotional. The utter weirdness is restrained by a ... read more
I think that the album definitely ended up standing out a bit more than I thought it would from initial snippets I heard. I thought going in that I'd be treated to very formulaic and derivative Electropop and while to a degree HALO maybe is those things, the core production and lyrical heart still give some needed substance
