What is there to say about Abbey Road that hasn't already been said about a billion times. There is a reason this is THE most iconic album in history, and that reason is that it's just a really good album. ESPECIALLY for 1969. Is it as good as most people make it out to be? No, not really. However this is probably the most culturally significant album ever created, and for that i think it deserves to be among the greatest albums of all time. Everyone ... read more
injury episode is a major step-up in production but its lacking some of the memorability and the punch that rouge carpet disaster brought. it leaves this new album feeling kind of oversaturated sometimes and it gets lost in the sauce a lot i think. some of their best and worst original work is here though, like adapter being probably their best more melodramatic song. i thought classic death pose was the bands most directionless song, one of their only songs that sort of feels like filler

that doesnt completely redeem it. this is the weakest in terms of lyricism, vocals, melodies, and ESPECIALLY rapping. its still solely ... read more
this probably isnt a great first impression from a band ive only heard good things about
for the most part this is so... boring? it feels pointless, recycled. almost every song sounds like bland filler, like something you can put on for background noise while you clean or cook or something. but it could also catch you off guard with simple and sweet melodies and catchy riffs
it just needs its own identity. i can think of a dozen albums that sound exactly like this
