If Ghostemane stays on course with his current trajectory, i could see him dropping something truly legendary.
This is the most convincing follow-up to Manson’s Antichrist Superstar and NIN’s Downward Spiral. The sound
and energy is completely on the nose here, and the songs themselves are fantastic and the occasional rapping
helps to keep this a bit more varied and unique, even if the lyrics themselves are just okay. My only real
complaint is the short length of the songs, in a lot of cases they feel too short or underdeveloped, and when they
don’t, the album is 5/5, particularly the later half. This brought me back to listening to Antichrist Superstar on
repeat as a teen, and i don’t think anything, even Manson has been able to do that since. If Ghoste were to
release a longer album with more developed songs, i could see it being solid 5/5 album. The pieces are all there.
