This song is short and only has a single verse that delves into the obsessed with this girl presumably still after a breakup that made him depressed or at least contributed to depression.Įverybody Dies In Their Nightmares is my favorite song in the album and has my favorite flow. X has a very good flow and pacing on this track this paired with a somewhat relaxing acoustic guitar.ĭepression & Obsession agin featured an acoustic guitar and is about a girl, presumably his ex girlfriend. I really liked the production which felt sad and sonically found interesting the start stop instrumental. Jocelyn Flores is about his friend who committed suicide, and as we see in later songs is a lot of the inspiration for the album. I have to say that this feels very real and heartfelt, it almost sounds like he’s on the verge of breaking down when speaking. He says that the listener is literally entering his mind and that he values expectance and loyalty over money. The Explanation is the introduction and a spoken word explanation for what the album is about. It’s not bad, but I can’t help but feel like somethings missing.
I personally liked it more than other projects that I rated as a 6 overall, so I find myself going with a 6.25 at this time. Part of me wants to rate it lower since it feels unfinished and scant, but another part of me understands where he’s coming from and why he made this project. However at this time I’m left being able to relate to the music fairly loosely, but still enjoyed it.
I feel like in order to truly love this album you’d have to be depressed yourself, as I can see a time in my life where I would’ve enjoyed this more. In this way I feel like he really hit his target as a lot of the songs did feel very emotional and came across as emotionally raw and very relatable on a human level. However, I feel like he wasn’t going for a super developed and masterfully producer album but was going for raw emotion about what he’s going through as said on the intro. Since it’s only 22 minutes across 11 tracks, the album is tragically short and feels largely unfinished. I really struggle with how to rate this album for a few reasons. On July 30th, X announced the release date on his Instagram story,which was August 25th. He also addressed it in his interview with 103.5 The Beat. This album was first announced on X’s Periscopewhen he was released on probation in March.
