this album is amazing to me for a few reasons. It was made by some people from my area and captures the post-industrial malaise of northwest ohio perfectly, this is headphones music for bike rides through polluted landscapes where its too cold to think about anything except your next cigarette and how dead the landscape looks.
Dystopian rage-fllled lyrics about drugs, discontentment, guns and paranoia, cut through the smoggy electronic beats that earn comparisons to artists like dalek, el-p and techno animal. The Producers favor a minimal breakbeat style laced with synth drones and mangled spooky samples. It aint pretty, but its definitely unique and powerful hip hop in an era where too many people fall back on parodies of pop culture and escapist ignorance.
