Update: The more I'd been thinking about it over the last number of days, the more I come to realise this is actually my favourite album of all-time. No other album has ever given me a sense of dread, happiness, paranoia, sorrow, or even the urge to dance all at the same time.
This truly is a rollercoaster of many emotions, some of which are pretty dark. A 66min cinematic trip that feels like a horror film if it was just audio.
Update 2: Been having this on repeat a lot more since recommending to a lot of my friends on here and the amount of emotions Geogaddi conveys is truly something special. One track could leave me uncomfortable, the next one would make feel relaxed. I could also be frightened & then back to feeling comforted, even if that latter emotion ends up being short lived.
Then... I'm left feeling either confused / angry by the end with Magic Window, which gets hated (and for good reason, lol). But then again, when I think about it, that's probably the last emotion that the album hasn't given prior: Anger.
It wasn't easy to find this album for a cheap price, but after searching for it for weeks thanks to two tracks resonating in my mind for ages, I got it. And I was blown away by the overall experience it left me with.
Simply perfect in every way.
Trivia: you can hear this album in reverse on YouTube and there's plenty of sounds & voices you don't hear in the original, making this album freakier, but just as special to me.
Major highlights:
