    HIVE1 falls just short in its transformation from art piece to LP.

    It’s a private album, filled with in-jokes and notes that only make sense for Braxton himself.

    There's nothing wrong with making demands of the listener, but there's little to no reward to be found across these eight increasingly alienating compositions.
