clipping.'s new album is a mixture of tight lyricism, huge societal criticism and a cyberpunkesque ambient. Its first part really involves you in the world they create, while the second part is just spitting bars. The production takes a backseat while being one of the strong suits in previous projects. A unique experience for the rap game
TMV were able to craft a masterful semi-abstract narrative while being bold, courageous and redefining Progressive Rock, while combining distinct genres.
Every part, every instrument distinguishes itself and has a part to shine, and everything is thrown to the wall and manages to just hit. Excellency
A really good idea with poor execution. The album starts with the (still) descent of the Weeknd character , which is a neat idea, that really goes nowhere or has a good resolution. It's really a album that stays still.
It gets boring really fast when you expect the huge buildup to go somewhere but ultimately just stays still
Made a really good post-humous album and then decides to die.
Maybe his most personal album, which makes you get closer to Mac, and then, ultimately, start to miss him when he's gone in the later part of the album.
Really respects the vision of the artist, while not being a cash-grab.
A album full of death, with a dead artist questioning death while being closer to death itself, is beautiful in a metaphysical way
