What the blue jumping **** is a DROGA? ****ed if I know. Not crazy about the opening track, but we'll see how it goes. Like the piano on the second track anyway. I'm not really sure what's happening to me. It's too early to say I'm finally “getting” hip-hop, but I'm definitely hating it less than I used to. This ain't bad at all. I like the trap tone in the third song too. “Jump” is pretty hilarious, though I'm less amused by the high-pitched squeaky voice like on “High (Interlude)”. He certainly uses the word nigger a lot. I mean, a lot! Nice soul feel to “Kill” (lots of niggers in there!) and generally, yeah, I am quite enjoying this. Someone save me before I start learning how to drive so I can buy a car, have it chopped and ride around Dublin bouncing up and down on the suspension with this blasting out of the stereo. I'm a PROG HEAD dammit! I got standards!

All right, my resistance continues to fade as I listen to pizzicato strings (of course they're on a synth but still) on “Pick Up the Phone” - what the hell? This sounds like something from Imagine Dragons or something! Weird: I legitimately thought the playback had screwed up or a YouTube had started up by mistake! “It's not design” is like some cool seventies or eighties disco hit – definitely reminds me of Sylvester's “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” and something else, though I can't think of what. Cool to the max. Oh, I think it's “Can You Feel It?” Not sure. Love this album. Big ****ing BIG surprise, getting more every day. I'll never regret doing this project.

Check out more from this artist? Yeah
