Lost in the Abyss (Album Review/...

So the album opens up with defibrillation,

which isn't a rap but just an instrumental.

It's basically to put it into short words.

Music on an Elevator during an action movie right before the door opens

and the protagonist gets straight into kicking ass.

and it does as it opens up to his song Revived.

Revived Ft. Nicoxcx

 

It opens up with a Juice wrld beat. which matches the Hook vibe perfectly.

So his verse opens up with "I mean well, meanwhile i'm still the problem"

which is creative and set the bar high to at least maintain that level of MCing through the

rest of the verse. and it does. between the internal rhyme schemes, and the

play off his hook mentioning "I look fear, in the face, chase my demons away"

He keeps the same theme of Addiction through out the verse.

However the story telling of this is darker and the way it plays into the word Revived.

He's not the one being Revived, but instead his demons.

Waking up twice in his dreams, represents the cycle of addiction.

Nicoxcx plays off of that as well.

Then the Outro plays into the whole theme on a deeper level.

The whole complexity of him wanting his addiction to end , he wants to quit.

and then when he's about to succeed he brings it back. He's indecisive .

 

From the complex story telling and the metaphors in this is really good.

I place it at a 8/10. the reason it's not at a 10/10 which it would be is the choice of

the beat. the overall theme just doesn't match the vibe of the instrumental.

so 8/10

Mabey I'm not really back:

 

It's not as complex as the last track but it's skill good technically, well better.

The theme of the track isn't as well structured. Which I understand that's hard to do sometimes.

but the theme kinda drifts off from it's main focus a few times.

I put this one at 7/10.

Pray for you Ft. harrytrevpev

 

I like this one more than the last track. It still follows the theme of the Album.

of falling into the Abyss but through the story telling with aid from Harrytrevpev

it goes into a deeper level. addressing a few reasons he's in the Abyss, and why he's lonely.

I rate this a 8/10.

Coming for you

 

This track plays into the cycle of his flaws even more so.

and him fully adressing that he has flaws and he is human,

and him accepting he has stuff to fix and that's ok.

then he addresses the people that have similar flaws,

and telling them how to do better.

8/10

Transitions Ft. KQT, amp, and CSL:

 

This track is him kinda doubling down on the end of his last track.

Him becoming a teacher, and rebuking against the darkness.

of course mixed in with talking his shit lol

KQT and CSL talk shit too.

9/10

Potential:

A talk shit kinda record.( I'm a rate to not run out of room lol)

8/10

Victim Ft. iced_Jules:

9/10, it said some cool shit and had some nice flips and shit. but some of the lines kinda missed

like "Send a missile to your missus like the kisses of the mistletoe"

I see what he was trying to do but didn't execute it well. however he did have great lines

like " it's not about the werewolf but more about what the wolf wears" which is fire as fuck

______________________________________________________-

gotta make it:

6/10, not his best work on the album but it's good

___________________________________

Chasing freedom:

8/10 it plays well into the addiction scheme again. also some good points brought up.

____________________________

willwesurvive? Ft. Rapboat:

7/10, I feel like his verse wasn't really there. Rapboat's verse was fire though.

His verse wasn't horrible just didn't match the other tracks levels.

_____________________________________________________

Testaments ft br4ckett:

7/10, his testament of the street life.

______________________________________

Death

7/10, questioning death and he brought some points up. but they could have been

deeper. felt like it was rushed a little as well

____________________________________________________

Phoenix:

6/10:

plays in to the album theme of his inner demons 'monsters'

and him offically killing them off. not my favorite due to the fact it's kinda all over the place.

Static:

Is static, it's the end, the t/v turned off on this story we where showed.

Overall Review:

 

I love how it sticks with the theme of inner demons and the cycle of sin.

and how it went from him being hopeless, to him confronting it, to him sharing his

testimony, then him about to relapse in a way, and then him rising above and ending the cycle

and killing off his monster. However, a few of the tracks don't fit well with the theme and story

and it's kinda like a commercial break during a show your really invested in.

 

I give this Album a 8/10, it was a great concept album and well done.

any critics are not attacks just a point of view from a MC and fellow music creator
