It seems like the more up front and overtly anti-Trump an album gets in 2018 the worse the actual music becomes. (As someone who doesn't support the POTUS this becomes like the biggest facepalming of all time) First there was Ministry and now there is Otep, which makes the former look pretty good comparatively. For those that grew up on Nu Metal this might bring you back to 5th grade where raps and acne-inducing guttural screams were just an everyday thing in music. Unfortunately Otep is really not that good at either. Most of the riffs here feel like the band listened to RATM the night before writing everything and then forgot everything that made RATM great the next day. Ironically there is a, sigh, cover of RATM at the end of the album borderline confirming that they basically rip off that style. On the surface it seems like Otep means good, sticking up for the less fortunate and pointing out the hypocrisy we see in our leadership. That is OK but her delivery could not be worse. Fav. line on the album is the one about Trump's "bitch boys". Not being that familiar with Otep it is hard to say how authentic her approach is but her delivery just feels so artificial and drawn-up. Since bonus tracks are basically necessary in 2018 (it feels like) shout out to the 31 minute track of her fans thanking her and praising her. Again, most of these anecdotes are heartfelt and sincere but this track comes off as so self-centered and congratulatory.

Loving the strong RATM vibes here. Someone?s gotta say what the majority of us (rational people) are thinking. Out with the orange.

There's not a vocalist on this good green Earth that I despise more than Otep. What she calls singing is hilarious. This album in particular is atrocious.

If "hello, fellow kids! wanna do politics?" was an album.

The fact she needs fans to stroke her ego on a 30 minute track alone warrants this a 0/5. Holy sh*t is this album bad

If there is such thing as an eyesore, then this is most certainly an earsore.

I'll admit it: I liked Otep's first three albums. they weren't perfect, especially when it came to the spoken word tracks, but they contained some moderately enjoyable nu-metal bangers. ever since, they've been on a not-so-steady decline, with this being their absolute lowest point to date. everything about this is obnoxious, from the ham-fisted sociopolitical lyrics to Otep Shamaya's pseudo-rapped vocals to the generic, chuggy instrumentation. it's all the worst elements of nu-metal wrapped up in a neat little package and delivered on the doorstep of a musical climate that's been over it since 2005.
