I only liked four of the tracks on this album upon first listen, but evertime I came back, there were more tracks that I enjoyed. It might take some time to realize how good this project really is, but there's no denying the creativity behind this record. The combination of crazy synth lines, catchy hooks, and absurd sampling make this one of the best experimental hip-hop projects of all time.
There's some really neat ideas on here, but the execution is really lacking. I think Flume and JPEG could actually make a decent full collab album, as their sounds mesh pretty well in my opinion, but this just sounds like it lacks the time and effort.
It's so sad hearing this project after listening to BTTIGTP, Ritchie sounds so much more energetic and lively here, and in general this album feels like Injury Reserve was just having fun making music. R.I.P Groggs.
All around a really neat concept record, J. Cole is at his best when he's able to deliver well-written and emotional verses on a song.
It's hard to think of this as an album when it's closer to a movie than anything. I think it's a neat idea to have a couple of horror stories with some weird production in the background, but I don't think it works great in an album format.
