"Relentless, unadulterated hedonism." - Like someone who's addicted to cocaine?

The introspection is sprinkled through-out, just like on Old, which coalesces into the final track where he states he does this and portrays this so we don't have to. There's very obviously no lack of self-judgment here. What's hedonistic about getting nosebleeds, going numb, and dissociating from society?

Danny's always been crass, it was just portrayed in a manner that a sober listener can easily compartmentalize on XXX.

"Atrocity Exhibition is about relapsing into old habits and treading back into dark territory while in stubborn denial." - This is EXACTLY why this is an accurate artistic portrayal of addiction. Also why "uknowwhatimsayin?" is a significant entry into his discography, as he's trying to leave behind his old crutches to "live his best life," as the excitement of success (and readily available drugs that come with it) is starting to wear off.

"Most songs consist of tinkering pianos, blurbs and beeps not out of place on an electronica track, and Wilhelm screams thrown in for (seemingly) the heck of it."

Is there piano on more than one track here? Isn't most hip-hop electronically based? Electronica is a really vague reference, considering how vast it is with sub-genres. What's one actual spot on here where he does a Wilhelm scream? I seriously have no clue what you're referencing with that. Pointing out specific examples would be immensely helpful.

"Really Doe... post-apocalyptic." / "Emphasis on edge over musicianship."

B... This is a hip-hop album. lol

We're talking about a genre that focuses on conceptual portrayals of human behavior, vivid and carefully-yet-loosely-placed lyricism, stylistic purpose, meaning of identity... If you're getting upset with his behavior here, wait til you learn about what having an addictive personality is actually like.

woah 06 boomer resurrected

Look, all I'm really saying here is that, in my experience, people who may have been born crack-addicted, and who do not put limitations on their own habits and behaviors, have a VERY hard time listening to Danny Brown, and it's not specifically because of his style.

People can dislike him all they want. Honestly, it's logical. I'm just a sucker for conceptual cohesion and accurate portrayals of human psyche, and I think the way he's received by the public perfectly reflects on the public itself.

Yeah I totally see your point. But I hoped you caught on to the fact that I approached this album not from a conceptual standpoint, but from the perspective of a casual music listener seeking infectiousness, replay value, and emotional depth that doesn't turn me off (but rather, resonates me). Just didn't find any of that here. Sure, it's a good depiction of drug-induced psychosis, but that's not something I really care about personally.



I just find his delivery and the accompanying instrumentation crass and jarring.

"Fast forward to 2016 and Danny Brown became about one thing and one thing only: relentless, unadulterated hedonism. He has foregone the candid introspection of tunes like “Party All the Time” in favor of whole albums made in the image of “Admiral Adderall.”"



...what the fuck? Did this dude even listen to the album lol
