I honestly think it's his second-best next to Labor Days. The production is just great, it's hard-hitting and consistent without being overly complex or abrasive, it's just solid beats the whole way through, it feels modern and classic at the same time and thank GOD he's not hopping on the whole trap rap fad.
And of course his rapping is on point, and I've only intently listened once but the lyrics are a decent mix of abstract "I have no fucking idea what you are saying lol" but also some personal stuff such as on Blood Sandwich, where you can tell he's actually...ya know, saying something meaningful.
It's just bars after bars with mostly good, catchy hooks, and it's the perfect length for an album, just under 50 minutes. It's not loaded with filler and retarded skits like so many hip-hop albums.
It really is fascinating to me that he manages to spit so much interesting stuff while very rarely cursing or being generic. I think he says "fuck" and "bitch" maybe three times on the whole album and not even in a sexual context.
I'd give it an 8-8.5/10 on first listen, probably the best hip-hop album I've heard this year. Better than TLOP, even.
heeeeeey kiiirby
watcha doin kirby
watcha doin there
>>64348873
thanks for the tip homie, i've been jizzing for 3 songs straight no end in sight. the world will drown in my cum
>>64348898
I love aesop but 10/10
>>64352670 my bad
The convo with his therapist (I think?) near the end was wonderful. Loved his little jabs at himself for his obscure lyrics.
Lot to unpack with this album. As of the moment, I don't think it comes close to Skelethon, but we'll see how it grows on me.

Why'd ya eat that leaf?
damn this is actually really good
