I used to hate on this... i see the vision now. i have ascended. i am no longer a mortal being. i can now understand this hyper-complex writing like, for example:
"I love all my thots and codeine (Thots, codeine) I love all my thots and codeine (Yeah, yeah)"
you see, this line is a commentary on the meaning of life. he loves his thots... and he loves his codeine... truly inspirational.

Mike Patton please clutter up my butter gutter.
This album, as expected, is some of the weirdest shit I've ever heard.
Quote Unquote: Just a banger, not much to say. Apparently it's about a deaf, blind and limbless man with his mouth sewn shut???
Slowly Growing Deaf: Peak...

The record begins with a traditional korean instrument, the Taepyeongso. For me, this sounds like the eerie feeling of uncertainty. Not knowing what's about to happen to you, like seeing an asteroid far in the distance as a simple dot approaching rapidly.
After 5 minutes or so, you can hear quick flashes of ... read more
It really doesn't do much for me, even as someone who loves black metal.
Most of these songs are just... Aimless meandering. The climax of a few of the songs are fantastic, however Sadness focuses too much on the sleepy and untextured build-ups for them to feel super special.
FAV TRACK: somewhere
LEAST FAV TRACK: you dance like the june sky
OVERRATED: i want to be with you
UNDERRATED: somewhere
This album is so weird...
It has influences from salsa, avant-garde metal and sound collage... Like what?
The extremely silly sound of this record creates a stark contrast with it, and the lyrics. For example, let's take a look at the highest rated, and most popular track, Pink Cigarette.
This song is about a man in a problematic and for the lack of a better word, troubled relationship.
This results in him either burning himself alive, or hanging himself in their shared home. His ... read more
We are all going to die one day, so why not try to make the best out of the time we have?
This album confronts existentialism in such a unique way, nothing we does matters in the end. But why does that matter?
Even if all we do amounts to nothing why not use the little time we have to experience all these beautiful that we are lucky enough to have with us in the first place?

This record has some great guitars, and a great concept, however there are some glaring issues.
One of these being it's aimlessness. Most of this album feels like slow Doom-Metal branded meandering, it has slow, boring, nothing-burger passages that go on for ages with no real pay off.
In the mist of these dark and pointless sections are some great guitar riffs however, and some nice textures that really sell the desolate aesthetic.
All in all, on paper this record sounds great, but ... read more
awesome album cover, the music is whatever though.
