I don't agree with #Fantano that the latest #Clipse album is an instant classic - and I absolutely love Clipse.

I think #theneedledrop has realised that the algorithm rewards picking one album per year to elevate above the others. I suppose being led by web traffic is a flaw for all reviewers to some extent but I still think a site like #sputnikmusic with user generated content will be less likely to be contaminated by the drive for clicks.

#ChatPile #Review #Sputnikmusic sums it up nicely, which is a statement, surely more for the US than EU, but important nonetheless in the clarity of the lyrics, which paints a picture of what could lie ahead at the end of the downward spiral.

Quote:

On their long-anticipated debut LP God’s Country, the foursome are pissed as all hell at any combination of: the soulless commodification of human labour, wealth inequality and homelessness, and the opiated misanthropic stew that stands as an apparent lowest common denominator as we sit in our ruts awaiting the inevitable end of the shit-ridden carbon-fucked fucking world. It’s profane and unsettling and all the more remarkable for how it turns the kind of bitterly antisocial material you’d ordinarily associate with solipsistic breakdowns into an open-hearted gob of spit that dissolves calcified apathy faster than the roughest stomach acid, opening a space for solidarity in filth.
