Shit.

The majority is unpleasant noise with tinny vocals placed on top.

Although wolf says this is why it is good?

'Fat mac' is the only redeeming tune imo

Had a listen and I like a few tunes on there, but I find it very repetitive. I'm not the biggest fan of noise but it does sound like the same sounds reused.

The Death Grips tune is utter wank, the Miss Red tune would be better if it was more dubby, the vocal doesn't fit imo.

Ascension and Void are good.

All that melts away when the lights are down and the bass is up.

Essentially this.

Will give it another listen tonight.

Listening to the stream now and It's pretty good, far from being noise though. :lol:

I feel it's alright, not really good enough for me to purchase it but Function is a huge tune. :P:

So far there are some good moments. I prefer the non vocal tracks to the vocal ones.

Function is indeed dope, Death Grips is dope too. :) All generally okay. Nothing I'd buy, or actively seek, better than most everything else I passively hear.

:Q:

I have my problems with it, but the problems are not musical in nature.
