This album can't come fast enough

Diarrhoea

The fact that there's been like 10 interviews, and yet no new music for 2 months

Diarrhoea

The proper reviews are starting to come out, they all seem pretty positive.

Diarrhoea

Well, it's not perfect. It's kinda annoying how all the more experimental songs were clustered in the middle, and the first stretch definitely has more of a pace to it, I don't think the second half is as phenomenal, other than Why Did You Separate Me From The Earth? Also, I legitimately have no idea what I Don't Love You Anymore is doing on this album.

That said, this is all very petty, the album is fantastic, probably the best of the year so far for me.

Yeah, I don't think it's a widespread thing (yet) though

This album is pretty good.

The middle of it is a little bjork on a bad acid trip, but the last few songs are pretty good.

AOTY, White Lung hew? Watch Me ~~(Whip/Nae Nae) [Cover]~~, WDYSMFTE? and Crisis are absolutely fantastic

The middle section of the album could be a bit better (Obama's great tho), but still, the production here is terrific.

More detailed thoughts:

Watch Me > Drone Bomb Me > Why Did You Separate Me From The Earth? = Execution > Obama > 4 Degrees > Crisis > Violent Men > Hopelessness > Marrow > I Don't Love You Anymore

What a great few weeks for music.

I don't think the middle is bad per se, just poorly sequenced, the thing that underwhelmed me the most was probably Marrow. I could tell from the lyrics that IDLYA was gonna be a bit out of place (maybe I'm missing something but it doesn't seem political to me), but all the reviews/interviews/op-eds made out Marrow to be a lot better than I think it is. Marrow's still a solid 7, but I thought it'd be a bit more lively.

Watch Me is everything I wanted and more, and it'll probably sound even better in HQ. Speaking of which, the HQ is apparently coming soon.

Since it's LQ, I only let myself listen to 2 songs, Execution & Watch Me, which I absolutely love

Diarrhoea

Leaked in HQ!

ChapelHooker

the only song I don't like is Obama, the rest is breathtaking.

THEORACLE

SO much better in 320.

Right? It's not quite the revelation of 320 Art Angels, but

I really like Obama, tbh.

ChapelHooker

her vocals on the entire project are simply amazing

It's so good.

Obama is the standout for me.
