"Furthermore, digesting Viet Cong became more daunting with each listen, as the execution overshadowed any concept

I could derive"

-no subject in the last part of the sentence, ergo, no need for a comma. Might want to change "the" to "its" since you're

referring to the record's execution itself.



"It doesn’t stay with me once concluded, or make me reevaluate my own life through introspective lyrics."

-"once concluded" does not refer back to what precisely is concluding. Might read easier if you reword the sentence as

"The record didn't stay with me/strike a nerve/make me reevaluate..." etc.



Lots of adverbs in the first paragraph break up the ideas you're conveying, or worse, sound redundant given the

context of the sentence. The sentence "The album is wholly enjoyable as the sum of its parts" does not need further

justification to convince the reader that it's enjoyable; you're already saying that. 95% of adverbs (words ending in -ly)

don't bring any new information to the table.



That aside, I enjoyed this review, pos'd, and think your writing has improved quite a bit since the last review I read of

yours. Keep up the good work, dude bro.

great review.



Just started to listen to this, and I'm surprisingly digging this alot, although I'm usually not into noisy

stuff and didn't care for women.
