    Overall, CLPPNG is chock full of ideas, and if its failure is due to overambitiousness, well, there are worse ways to fail.

    Even when the songs sound coherent and have some interesting moments, the jarring beats still come on as incessantly aggressive with no actual power, inspiration, or deeper statement driving the noise.

    The record lacks vision, direction, clarity.

    The experimental-ness of this album is just great. Alot of these tracks make use of many obscure sounds and somehow make them just very great.The experimental-ness of this album is just great. Alot of these tracks make use of many obscure sounds and somehow make them just very great. like on the track "Get Up" the songs whole beat is just an alarm clock going off and somehow, they managed to make it sound good. Daveed's rapping is absolutely FIRE aswell.

    Fav tracks: Body & Blood, Work work, Summertime, Taking off, Get Up, Or Die, Story 2, Dominoes
    Least fav tracks: Tonight, Dream.
