  • This is the first Kanye album I’ve heard, was memed into it as a psychologist. It’s bad, but crazy. The lyrics are shit, but he never had good lyrics. He alternates chest beating and talking about his swag, wife wearing no panties, but then nitrous fucked him up, his therapist can’t handle him, his kids think he’s not sane and there’s jews lurking at every corner… Real enviable shit right there. Then it’s Hitler, Jesus, Kanye like a schizo moussaka. There’s next to no bars, rhymes are not landing and have to be propped up with a “unh nigga”, rapping too fast for the beat as if it’s about to unspool forever, the cloying autotuned voice that might as well be AI-generated for how synthetic it sounds, just abysmal all round. Songs are like a minute and a half but they blow their load instrumentally in the first 20 seconds. The beats are generic and démodé, kind of noughties style with too many layers of strings and whatnot.

    Looks like complete ass, deflect the green is the stupidest idea in gaming in a long time and those dragon segments are just an insult. Also, I’m happy Bethesda saved time and CPU cycles not baking lighting, but it got offloaded to gamers’ computers for dubious benefit. I have eyes, I see how 2016 and Eternal look, please tell me how much of a graphic improvement the endless glitching fields of darkness are. I wouldn’t buy a game for more than 15€ if it’s top notch (patient gamer here), but I don’t see myself playing this ever, it just evokes a sadness. The story of Eternal (the only game of the recent trilogy I actually liked) was a huge Marvel-caliber turd and I skipped every cutscene, so I’m not expecting anything in that department.



















  • Re: their last album from 2020, but an interesting read: “At this point, you might be expecting the customary engineer’s ode to a talismanic, 32-channel studio centrepiece. Well, at Blank, there isn’t one. “We haven’t got a console at the studio,” Sam tells me. So, everything is about preamp selection; picking preamps for sources. Over the past 12 years, as a group of engineers, we have had to go from zero. Like, we got five grand off the council in 2008 as part of a business development grant. And that’s been it, really. But what that’s done is forced our hands to understand every bit of equipment that we add to the setup.”
