I fear I do not have the vocabulary or understanding of music to get why everyone hates this one so much. Like yeah maybe it's slightly less good than the rest but 44/100 is CRAZY

Man this breaks my heart because I'm sure the label was like BRO PUT THIS SHIT OUT QUIT PUSSYFOOTING AROUND and Barns was searching for the masters like he forgot his homework at home in a class he's about to fail. This is all to say the sound writing is good but most of the production is demo-level garbage :(

whatever happened to vilest nihilist?
