finally back from my parents place listening on my own speakers and wow, huge difference lol. Alc production is surprisingly subtle on here
To me it was way less melodic, more spacious/atmospheric than I expected.
woods' verse on Indian Summer is pitch black.
Palmetto bugs flutter the sides of saucers
Clumsy f***ers spin inside their coffins
Plucking guitar strings, Orpheus outside the fortress
MDC Brooklyn, the rats is gorging
Kill one, only bring more and more like dead explorers
I put a neat hole in Indiana Jones fedora
For that Somali Tora we lit up the night like Sodom and Gomorrah
Left out, face forward
Also, the line 'It wasn't any one thing, it was the sequence' feels like a nice callback to the Red Dust hook.
Feel like this album is the most autobiographical he's been since Hiding Places.
Yes. I was gonna mention that woods is really opening up a lot more here. I think of his verse on Falling Out as well. Bro there’s too much to unpack. I’m loving it
@DonutHole i don’t know if you like alchemist production but if you can get past the cover this album dropped today and is crazy good !!!!

Me too man, this really is as good as it gets. Say that with every album of theirs tbf. Still barely scratched the surface cause I just keep getting lost in the hypnotic beats.
Legit the first time I heard the cutting grass bars in Indian Summer I thought woods was talking about a past job as a gardener
Holy f*** this is crazyyy! Production transports you into another world, was in a trance like state for most of the project
Feels almost required to play this late at night for it to really 'hit'
