This is really a “concept album” in that there’s a clear narrative that runs through the whole album. Other than that, it’s not really a typical concept album at all. It took me about 2-3 listens before I really got it, so it’s definitely worth persevering with.
There isn’t a YouTube link to the full album, but there’s a stream here that seems to contain everything:
I’ve listened through once and it’s not too bad but I have a feeling that listening to it three times will cure me of ever wanting to listen to it again!
I am listening to the instrumental version on TIDAL. I really can’t see how it could be improved by vocals so I shan’t go to chase it down on Spotify as what I heard is definitely not for me. It is miles away from anything I would usually listen to. Most of the (very little) rap I own is far more abrasive musically. There is nothing here to catch my interest.
So I will give it 3/5 for three reasons. One mark for the music, one mark to TIDAL for not putting on the full version, and one bonus mark for annoying @browellm and more than likely @MGOwner.
The short version:
Somewhere between Meh and not really for me.
Have given it a go but it didn’t float my boat much. Has been quite nice and quiet since it finished! Mind you, I have one of those never ending colds at the moment, so everything is getting on me tits!
I think this might surpass Guilt Machine in that I would find it very hard to believe that anyone actually listened to this all the way through. I know we have a claim of doing so, but I have my doubts…
