Okay… It’s all had time to sink in…
Razah’s Ladder: Vocals are a little redundant for me after several songs, but it’s something easily forgivable because the beats are so satisfying. Not to mention, like you said, there is a lot of experience behind the words, which does add a definite amount of intensity –- a factor that requires a certain liking, I do admit. Overall, I think the instrumental version of this would really wet my whistle. Fan-freakin-tastic.
Crying Over Pros for No Reason: I don’t get what the hype was about. This album sucked my ass.
Okay, so I’m kidding, obviously.
I knew I would respect it just by the song names alone… Screening Phone Calls and Mildew
I was a bit surprised by how organic it sounded though, and there was just so much more to love after that fact -- the glitchy strings, the beat’s seamless interweaving -- and every track is concrete, with very high production value.
I’ll be finding a lot of uses for this.
So, thanks, to both of you, for all your generosity.
Great stuff here.
