Fucking masterpiece.
This album is the absolute best of every alternative genre combined in the biggest possible way imaginable. It has to be experienced from start to finish, while every individual track has its own unique flavour and easily holds their own as major league tracks, collectively they go together like a critically acclaimed symphonic musical, every aspect just sounds like its meant to be there. Once you feel like you know what's going on and what's coming next you simply forget who you are due to the shock of this journey and where it's taken you. It ranges from straight out nuclear war to global peace and love, from absolute chaos to total Zen, from total confusion to complete certainty and then flips it all on its head again in the most satisfying ways produced. The lyrics are an entirely different thing on their own and on a completely different level, you can tell this guy has had it with everyones bullshit and is not out to please anyone, this is raw and honest expression of self in a way that welcomes you to different ideas you simply can't ignore, all while actually calling people out on the shit everyone hates but no one wants to talk about, these guys spoke up on behalf of a crowd thats had enough of the rigmarole every other act seems to be putting them through. Dregg has done what I believe everyone wishes they could do right now in music and that is to genuinely stand out as artists.
