Reading some of the negative reviews that had been posted as I was relistening to this album today, I found myself really wondering if everyone in this comment section listened to the same album. There were some parts that I didn't particularly vibe with on this record, those mostly being the beat on BATTY FREESTYLE and zombAe's verse on eccentric tumors (no hate to zombAe, I've heard and loved a lot of his verses on other artists' works but this one did not click with me). ... read more
well yes! this might be one of the aoty contenders for me just off how much I enjoyed like the whole thing... but def not like straight up AOTY. idk. this album definitely doesn't have any like, deplorable things, or things I would always skip, but it definitely has songs that don't quite live up to the rest of the album. there's a clear peak in the first few tracks, and while the second half is great too, it doesn't quite live up to the hype tracks 2 to 5 give ... read more

sawrrrr im kind of conflicted on this album as a whole? i think i like it! i love a lot of the songs individually but i dont know if they make for like an enjoyable listen with the songs i dont particularly like on this. the hits are HITS, and the flops just kind of fall flat.... some of these lyrics make me cringe a little bit too, esp in MEDIA TRAIN: that chorus kind of ate but the verses make me cringe a little. overall wouldnt listen to the whole album again but multiple of these r in my ... read more
