Phero - if you liked TIK and Malibu Ken, you'll probably like this. TBH if you love TIK, You'll def like Skelethon as well.

Shout-out to Garbology [2] his best since None Shall Pass



A shame it got put under “Aesop Rock x Blockhead” cuz it’s an Aesop Rock album like any other and it’s awesome

Thief market buzzing by what use to be McDonald's

The currency is crystal and deconstructed Elantras

Anonymous warning shots are the modern "attention shoppers"

A stop in defense of honor's a belly flop in piranhas



that shit does not rhyme 🔥

Just pinch your nose a rap until you’re completely out of breath 😂

i hate his style of lyricism lol

Seriously tho it’s extremely easy to imitate the way he sounds. Just close off your throat only use head voice and don’t take a breath. It’s hilarious

Just for the record I enjoy a fair amount of his catalog but after a while his shtick wears thin. The 5 year absence from none shall pass to skelethon made people forget that and a lot of us rediscovered our intrigue in him. Though since skelethon there hasn’t been any variation in his sound and to be honest he’s just an incredibly boring listen now.

A few alright tracks but overall disappointing. Garbology still better than everything post-None Shall Pass

Cyl - what draws you in on Garbo so much? I love it as well, but I don't know many who would value it as much as you.

i enjoyed this sooo much more than garbology and it feels like the main difference is production. i love the beats and fullness here

I swear to god the only white geek mistaken for a chill black guy more often than Aes is Dunky

I’ve been thinking on this for a while. I think this is what it is: it’s just so completely genuine. And in that way, it ends up being incredibly touching. Honestly, it seems to me that it wasn’t since Labor Days that he showed the whole of his personality like that. Maybe working with Blockhead again stirred up some feelings or something, cuz Aes just sounds so inspired on it, and he sounds like he’s having so much fun too. He just raps exactly how he raps - he doesn’t overdo it or underdo it, he just owns his style. And every song has a perfect balance of seriousness and humor. Whereas all his other albums since None Shall Pass, while I enjoy them all to some degree (except this one, save for a couple tracks), they all have this weird feeling like he’s trying too hard to sell himself to a larger audience. Garbology doesn’t feel like that at all to me. It sounds like two bros reuniting and doing exactly what they want to do together.

this is an unusual way to criticise a rapper

"After suffering through a pseudo-conceptual spoken word intro track (it’s arguable whether the conceptual elements of either album ever really permeated far enough to justify their inclusion),"

lol word - sets up the (real) opener just right and that's about it. some winners here and there though
