>>60019350Don't get me wrong, I like Modern Guilt. I just think it's overrated as anything that's come out this year. Ever since conscious alt-rock rose from the ashes of grunge and nu-metal, I think the hype machine has distorted any reasonable interpretation of the music. Obv it hasn't helped that he's been in the headlines so much after interrupting that hip hop producer with the weird-ass name at the Grammys, drunkenly slurring that Liz Phair had the best music video of all time.
Listen.
Some of the beats are chill, the lyrics are cool (>inb4 "u just don't get the icarusian struggle it portrays or some bullshit"), and the album is certainly well-produced. I'd even venture to say it's a 7/10. But don't tell me Fox News Music's famous 10/10 didn't help things.
