Wow! This blew me away! Immediate, personal, and excellent.
Some fun instrumentals but otherwise it's whatever. Maybe Milo is just too woke for me.
Tracks like BUSY/SIRENS, LIFE, and CALLIGRAPHY are standouts but unfortunately most of this album just blends into the background.

This album is boring and at points can barely be considered music. Milo definitely has lyrical substance and interesting philosophies and opinions. Beyond that there isn't much to take away from this album. The beats are lo-fi to the point of being indistinguishable at times, the song structures are ... read more
