To say this album isn’t for the faint of heart is a drastic understatement. I have never heard something that made me say to myself, “what is happening?!“ Appointing the album I was working on a project and I was chasing a spider to try to squish it it’s a weird metaphor but it was exactly how this album felt: anxiety and fear. This album takes over all of your individual thought and thinks for you. It’s unbelievably overwhelming in the most smartest and best ways. I’ve never had an album affect me this way. Honestly I don’t even know 100% how I feel about it other than that I recognize it’s pretty incredible. Amazing it sounded amazing production wise and again there’s no explaining or describing the way it makes you feel or the song structure. My only gripe is that I worry that it’s honestly satanic. I didn’t really get to get the lyrics and I couldn’t tell if they are praising anti-Christianity and The devil or if they were personifying him for artistic purposes only but wow. Again I have never had an album blow my mind like this one. It really doesn’t sound like it’s from this world. Unlike other albums that might take you to a different part of the world or show you a part of world you never seen it’s like this one is from a different dimension or actually from hell. Favorite song? Welcome to Hell Feeling? Intense, anxious, scary
