Asylum:10.1/10
Produced by Preservation, written and rapped by Billy Woods.
This album starts with this amazing track (my favorite billy woods song) called asylum.
The song starts off with this unknown Ethiopian jazz sample and the opening line “I think Mengistu Haile Mariam is my neighbor”, who is Mengistu haile Mariam after all? Well, he was a socialist Ethiopian dictator in the late ... read more

Ngl I coudn't get into this album as much as you probably did but this sounds like music from my childhood but in a booring way not in a nostalgic type of way.

Context: So I have been taking a deep dive into swans discography for a couple of month now and this is the eleventh album I've heard from them. So going into this album I was thinking this was just going to be a continuation of To Be Kind (one of my favorite album of all time) but worse (because of the reception I saw about it, and being a kind of a sequel) and OH MY GOD WAS I WRONG.

1st track (disk 1), cloud of forgetting:99
This song has a similar pattern of a few song off of To Be Kind ... read more
