What is it with Will Toledo and shoulders?
I had planned a really long review for this, but I kinda had sloth overcome me and I never really got past talking about Sober to Death, so now I’m going to freestyle a review about my favorite album of all time.
This album means so much to me. I first discovered this when I was in a really rough time in my life, not gonna really add to this, but this album helped me a LOT. Every track is gorgeous, lovely, and an ... read more
It’s really not that bad, it doesn’t have a ton of really bad tracks (with the exclusion of the singles song, samson’s golden axe, a pleasant sort of terror, and ESPECIALLY total burn, but that’s only 4/20 on an old compilation) but it mostly was just kinda mid songs or surprisingly solid ones. I was actually pleasantly surprised by quite a few, notably I don’t want you, get better get well, the staying song, I CAN TALK WITH MY EYES SHUT, and the vice president of ... read more
This is not experimental rap. This is a waste, the soul of all of his past, most groundbreaking works has been extracted leaving roadkill that pretends to be alive.

Edward Skeletrix’s most upsetting and uncomfortable project to date may bring along some of his greatest themes and ideas, however I find the almost excessive interludes and underwhelming motif’s an unfortunate downplay of what this Body of Work could’ve been.

Art is sucking the life out of me.
Despite a short start, the second half of Edward Skeletrix’s “Museum Music” takes an even more abstract and obscure route. Although the beginning of this disc is inconsistent, dragging it down some, the rest of the album is an even more twisted and barbaric clash of music, mixing its sharp production with some of Edward’s most blazingly potent vocal performances to date.
