If this is what good rage music is I don’t know what to say. Over 20 tracks and most of what we get is sludgy, annoying rage trap that never seems to really have a good moment. We get a few decent spots where the flows and aggression are quite a treat but most of the time I found Nettspend’s vocals to be absolutely intolerable.
