"Haha fellow women I hate white men, pls listen to this trash-pile of a song"
This being my first XCX album + the time being 4 am, I wasn't sure if I was gonna like this, but luckily I enjoyed it quite much. The production manages to break through the album, ensuring every track feels colorful and vibey while keeping me entertained.
I also appreciate this project not dragging on, the songs feel short enough to stay fresh even at the end.
As a final note, the songs ending up more "lyrical" are more annoying imo

Goblin at its core is incredibly boring production combined with comically violent and disturbing themes. Who the fuck listens to shit like the title track and says "hell yeah, this is added to the playlist" like cmon.

I told my mom about how boring this album was and she said it was because I haven't experienced "heartbreak." Hopefully I can avoid that so I don't listen to this boring slopfest
The Eminem Show is truly a classic, one that I would argue easily ranks as his top and contains a lot of great lyrical performances and interesting choruses. Political hip-hop usually ages poorly given how time-based it is, but some still remains true to this day. Highly recommended and definitely an amazing album
