Yeah, I finally listened to it. Maybe it is because I prefer Kanye's more outlandish albums like The Life of Pablo and Ye over his classics like The College Dropout (I know this is a terrible take), but I never felt insanely inclined to listen to it. I was sure it could not possibly live up to the hype but it absolutely did. Saying I have not listened to this album before is not exactly fair though. This is one of those albums that is so quintessential that even though I have never ... read more
This Album is Tragic. There's no better way to describe Deathconsciousness. It explores nihilism, existential despair, struggles with God, and cycles of destruction, painting a bleak picture of the human condition. The album is split into two distinct halves—The Plow That Broke the Plains and The Future—that differ in both sound and themes, so I'll break them down individually.

Damn, I have not been locked in this year. Anyways, I have no clue how I haven't reviewed this album yet. For me, this album is a lot like the BCNR album but in a dumb way lmao. Like, I heard the first single when it came out because the lead single, Census Designated, had a music video directed by my goat, Quadeca. Back then, I did not like rock in the slightest, forget shoegaze. Fast forward a year, and honestly, I have listened to almost no new rap. It's been mostly indie folk or ... read more
