After giving Ascension a couple listens, I wouldn’t say it’s his best work. After reading the above review, I would consider it in itself “bloated” and “grandiose.”

Still too early for me to rank tracks (like I always do), but my initial favorites here are definitely America, Ativan, The Ascension, and Make Me an Offer.

I also feel like a lot of this album sounds like a more lowkey Impossible Soul, which is probably a big reason why I love it.

tbf I do have a bloated writing style, in a sense that I try and compact a lot of my thoughts into a relatively short read, so it can come off as too condensed



when an 80-minute album still sounds too busy and, well, bloated, it’s more of an issue imo

I wish I hadn't jammed America so hard pre-release, really lessens the impact of it as the closing track :/

America is one of the best songs of this year. Will definitely be on my 2020 playlist.

it's been pointed out before but the fact that we got that stinker instead of My Rajneesh is fucking sad

Rajneesh should be here but for the love of god replace one of the mediocre tracks not the best one

"Ativan is the lamest drug to write a song about"



Maybe not flashy, but it is pretty darn relevant. We probably have enough songs about heroin, weed, coke and meth lol.
