the moment in time where pandemic-monium was just beginning to descend on the USA... it released literally the last day before my school's spring break, and we haven't gone back to in-person classes since
i remember waiting outside class that day bumping the album while browsing KTT and watching people give their hyperbolic first reactions
then over the next month, as our society went through massive convulsions, EA soundtracked it all for me
great albums do always seem to enter symbiosis with what's going on around its release, and I think EA was epic enough to match the unprecedented goings-on of Spring 2020
