The title track is amazing. It never gets old. But what that has in instrumentation, catchy songwriting, with a distinctive and memorable chorus, is lacking from a lot of other songs. With that track, I don't think you have to pay any attention to what he is saying because the production is so good, but that can't be said for a lot of this. I enjoy other moments listed below, but all in all, I don't find this to be amazing from front to back.
Beats: ★★★☆
Rapping/Bars: ★★★☆

Aesop Rock is one of those rappers whose style is incredibly polarizing. Do you like an absolutely ridiculous level of wordplay? Do you want to hear some beatwork that can have swagger and emotion all on its own? But if you're not into that, it can sound goofy. I will say that it's one of my favorites, and I will find myself singing the opening lines of the title track to myself often.
