Rated 8/10

This is a great album, but it's also 29 minutes of the same song.

Rated 8/10

Honestly this is better than the reviews wouæd indicate. A very thin sound with some harsh drum machine tracks. Intereatkng lyrics even if the vocals are a bit weak.

Very dark sound. I like the movie sample concept, but not sure it works as well as it could have. Lyrics and flow is very dense.

Rated 6/10

Every track on this album is way too long. It's just grating.

A soundtrack to a movie I haven't seen. Maybe it's great with context, but honestly this felt disjointed and I have no idea what makes this essential listening.

Rated 4/10

This is so long, and so uninspired. Judging by how sloppy the horns are on the last track, even the band was tired by that point.

I don't like this as much as I should. Driving bass, good riffs, lyrics about fucking.
A bit boring though.

Rated 4/10

What makes this essential? Clearly not the lyrics. The singing isn't that great, music doesn't stand out.

Great album!
It likely helped that I got this on the first actual summer day of the year, but this was a nice way to spend some time.

I actually really like some of this. Very stripped back and honest. But my lord is there a lot of it. There's a large part of disc 3 where you just want it to end - things do improve slightly though. The filler is atrocious, but the highs are so high.

I hate skits. Why was this ever considered a good thing?
Other than that I actually liked this album maybe a bit longer than it needed to be.

I don't really know what to do with this. I only have access to two tracks, but I like those. Gonna go with a propably unfair 3.
