Being tapped in with edward skeletrix since his debut gave me a look at a sort of more experimental version of rage music that i'd wanted to see from the scene, his second album came as a shock to me because it was... not that. While initially earning a mid review from me, it ended up growing on me as the messaging hidden under the confusing sonic palette made it a fantastic relisten. For this very reason i've waited to review this new album and... well shit its fantastic

Crazy the growth he had from this, to s&d3 and S4L. This is a decent album its definitely not bad at all, but its nothing too interesting given how good he would end up getting and continue to get
Peggy unfortunately broke his streak of dropping aoty contenders by dropping an album that, while not bad, is just kinda fine. His response to the reception is also super lame
The valid criques of "Hey i dont like this album cause you reuse the same flow the entire album and tried to be as unlikeable as possible throughout the rollout"
Versus the response being "You dont like me, and you should stop listening! :( im fighting white supremacy despite formally associating with a ... read more
