While I've seen this called dubstep, I don't think that really covers the scope of this project. This is some proper semi-experimental electronic music with heavy influences from early brostep and IDM. While the sound palate does get old after about three-fourths of the album, it's a nice sound to have drag out a little, and I can easily see why it does this, with the shortest song being just under five minutes and the longest being over seven.

There are several great ideas on here, but unfortunately they get buried under all the horrible choices made by both the producers and the artist herself. There are songs like "Just a Mess" ... read more
