It's not the best but it's special to me so I'll give it an 80
Favourites: Matte Black, 1000 Blunts, Escape from Babylon
Something being avant-garde doesn't necessarily make it good and this is direct evidence
Favourites:
Movements 4 to 7
The 4th movement was very.. moving
89>80
On my second listen I found that the production is too repetitive, mixing is mediocre and overall it's just not as varied in its sounds and themes. The vocals are also extremely hard to comprehend which detracts from the overall experience of the album.
Excellent production and a few very good thematic ideas throughout this album which I'd love to see Joji work on more on his next album
