I gave the original a 79, giving this an 80 just because it let me hear Cadence and Cascade a second time. Gorgeous song.
80 -> 86
I am exhausted and it's late at night, which made me enjoy this infinitely more. So soothing.
I gave the original a 96. I might just be sick of Peggy after 76 minutes straight of him, the new tracks were just overwhelming and sort of uninspired compared to all the original tracks. And what the fuck was HATE? Awful.
ONLY RATING OFF OF NEW TRACKS BY THE WAY
Edit 1 (73 -> 81):
I just listened to the new songs this time and it was much better, I think listening to the album in its entirety is just an overload of experimental music. Still not great though, COKE OR DOPE? is so goddamn ... read more
It's just outdated now. If it were still 2006, this shit would be banging.
I get that it's OBJECTIVELY an incredibly creative, innovative, and poetic masterpiece but I'm just rating this on subjectivity. A lot of the tracks on here are sonically grating, his vocal inflections, the repetitiveness of a lot of the tracks, it's just not something that I enjoy listening to. If I'm driving to work, not in a million years will I be playing 14 of these tracks in the car (the two exceptions being King Kunta and I). Objectively, it's probably a 99 or ... read more
Thank fuck he changed that zesty ass album cover.
The Weeknd has the capabilities to create the best synthpop album ever but he just keeps falling short and losing direction. This album was great though, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG.
In a world saturated with formulaic pop tunes and recycled hip-hop tropes, Stim Gang Ranking, the latest release from Darius Da King, boldly emerges as the antithesis of the mainstream. Darius, widely known for his unapologetic presence on TikTok and his unique perspective as an artist with autism, transcends the boundaries of what an album can be. This is not merely a collection of tracks—this is an odyssey through the mind of a creative visionary who has given us a soundtrack to his ... read more
Do yourself a favor and listen to tracks 1-8 then turn it off.
Best: CRG
Worst: Gen Z Luv
Act 1: 73
Act 2: 87
Total: 80
Absolutely incredible act 2. 4L - The Apple - Branded - Critical Acclaim - Shaitan's Spiderweb is an INSANE 5 track run. This might be Ghais' weakest record yet though, I shouldn't have to sit through 25 minutes of mediocre to get to the real artistic and creative stuff.
Great atmosphere. Don't hate the genre, hate how they execute the genre.
