like atmosphere and astronautalis (but fucking FAST) mashed, but very bleak, aggressive, and depressed (je pense).
it's flawless and perfectly arranged, fully thought-out and mixed, but it seems so...
throwaway to them. (and i have to stress that that's more lyrical than the actual tone of the album; the lyrics are phenomenal and their talent is undeniable. i love the shit out of this)
im projecting ("he's projecting now, from downtown!") for sure, but it just sounds like a production from people who just can't care about anything anymore. people who have just been weighted down to the point that the act of making music feels inadvertently sarcastic. i dunno, i imagine you can be really good at something and it can still lose its luster. and then he died from opiate toxicity.
i guess i attribute a lot of that sense to how prolific and guttural the bass guitar sounds throughout the album. he raps like christ, and the beats are great, and then it just sounds like a whacked out early-nirvana is sitting in the background fuzzing their way into oblivion.
Empathy is the poor man's cocaine
And love is just a chemical by any other name
I like the way your pheromones make me sleepy
This far away I still smell you inside me
