Alternates between "so stupid it's genius," genuinely decent, and edgelord crap. The Santa's Brother character is an underrated satire of hip-hop about sex.
When it's good, it's good. When it's intentionally bad, it's amazing.

Gotta love the "sounds like a fun song, but is actually dark when you listen to the lyrics" trope
Pretty messy overall. I mean, they included a single from years ago on here. The fact that it ranks among the best songs here only makes things worse.
There are a few good songs. Sadly, it's mostly from when they're at their most conservative musically. The political messaging is mostly toothless (though the title track is decent). The guitar cover of "In the Hall of the Mountain King" is... bizarre. "We Never Have Sex Anymore" is pretty much what you'd expect from a punk ... read more

I used to be homophobic, but then I heard Taylor Swift say that homophobia is exactly like saying bad things about her online.
When Chris Brown is the weakest part of his own song, but everyone else is at the top of their game.
The things I do for FOMO. I just had to see how bad this really was.
This album is probably a dead horse, so I'm just going to say some of these tracks had potential, if only they were mixed well or Corey wasn't trying to do whatever he was trying to do with his voice. This review's just going to be me describing my experience listening to it.
Ascension Millennium: I was laughing through the opening skit. Maybe part of that was from me just realizing that I was actually doing this. And then ... read more
Decent but strips away everything that made the original special.
That song worked because of the contrast of the dark lyrics and the happy music. Giving the music a dark feel too kinda ruins it. And ironically makes it less disturbing, because it doesn't paint the same picture of how the killer feels about all this.
It's ill-conceived, but really good in execution. It's dark, it's nihilistic. If it was an original song, it would really be something.
I'm not crying over a Foo Fighters album! You're not crying over a Foo Fighters album!
High points: Rescued, Under You Hearing Voices, But Here We Are, Nothing At All, Show Me How, The Teacher, Rest
Their best album since Wasting Light (at that point)
High points: Making a Fire, Waiting on a War, No Son of Mine
Low points: none to speak of
High points: Jesus He Knows Me, See No Evil, Phantom of the Opera
Low points: None really to speak of.
Not their best work, but when is a cover album ever a bands best work, unless they do something VERY different with the music. Alright, I guess the low point is that they didn't do anything different with the music.
Their big style helps to enhance many of these songs. Although, their Phantom of the Opera cover doesn't really do much with the original, but it does a very impressive job of ... read more
High Points: Secular Haze, Year Zero, Body and Blood, Monstrace Clock
Low Points: Idolatrine (All stand for the r/atheism national anthem.)
Be careful listening to it. You might cut yourself on the edge.
As in it will cut you to pieces and the band with have sex with all of those pieces and it will be brutal.
Thank god the lyrics are pretty much indecipherable.
