This album has great variety and well executed ideas while also showing promise and leaving room for growth.
My favorite songs on the record are the more straight forward rock/ pop-rock cuts such as “bug in the cake” and “595” the instrumental are quality, which is to be expected from someone with the connections she has, the vocals are great the chorus are pop catch while still being rock solid. The whole record is a great mix of more indie-pop and rock inspiration ... read more

Songs like “remember my name” and “geyser” clash with the much softer more “typical” tracks on the record. The one major issue this record has is that some songs ... read more
This album is a corny and pathetic excuse for an “experimental rap” record, that both manages to exemplify everything wrong with the genre while highlighting JPEGMAFIA’s cornball self.
Production is simultaneously the most important and hardest part of experimental music, if the production is too annoying or poorly mixed the record becomes pretty much unlistenable, but if it’s two boring or average there’s nothing really experimental about it, even if it sound ... read more
