Oh...

This sounds like a watered down version of Invasion of Privacy (and even that album wasn't spectacular). The mixing on this is atrocious. I'm not sure if they were intentionally going for an early 2000s production sound, but IMO it comes across very dated and stale. It's unfortunate because Megan's delivery on some of these tracks is not terrible. I really love that she's expressing her sexuality, but in a world where we have the likes of Cupcakke, this album is incredibly forgettable.

This is soooo groovy!!!!!! Ian still has that signature verbose lyrical style. I still have to figure out what he's rapping about tbh. The beats are a mix of synthetic and acoustic (reminds me of a progressive Skelethon). I love how the album is mixed roughly, almost to simulate a live performance. A massive return!

It's apparent that this album is a continuation of There Existed an Addiction to Blood. If you place Intro after Piano Burning it paints an interesting transition. As Piano Burning's fire fades out into black, into darkness, we're introduced to these dark and deathly punches in Intro as if to allude to a shift in a darker more nocturnal period following There Existed.

Instead of falling on rusty nails on the previous album cover, we're now stationary watching animal and human teeth fall down ... read more

If you're looking for an RTJ or Denzel Curry level of grandiosity, you'll be greatly disappointed. Mike here is more introspective, vulnerable, and reflective than ever. It's actually nice hearing men rapping in this emotional state and perspective that we don't often hear. His spoken-word rapping sounds like pages torn out of a journal and put to music. And it sounds like he made this album for himself and his personal journey. He's just trying to heal, y'all.
