If only he cared enough about artists like x and bladee to analyze their philosophy and spiritual message more. They evolve youth and could evolve him. I truly love them more for that alone. saying its about "doing what you want for fun" and "theism" destroys the contribution bladee actually has. Fantano doesn't understand drain, so why he'd release this alludes me.(Source: Mythos of bladee vid) It's like a reinvented gnosticism which enlightened the diligent and the pure of heart in ancient times. And bladee (unenlightened) still made a dream world aesthetic through gnosis and being purely self freeing that can constitute a lifestyle itself. Fantano doesn't deserve to rate it because your supposed to listen to bladee as a teacher with cunning edge soundscapes and wisdom not beautiful singing and pop music levels of harmony everywhere. Fantano doesn't rate with life changing message as a marker it's a shame and why I hate Anthony's vids now👎 What's a great artist if not a person changing minds for the better? Someone who's not willing to see another's point of view in all art is not understanding art. You don't get to logically decide if certain instruments worked if you can't respect everything they brought first. Unwoke and pitiful gen x asshole.

[@poofithing]

Not my fav Bladee album, but it's a strong, focused effort. As much as I love albums like icedancer, they feel a bit thrown together. This is probably the cleanest Bladee has ever sounded, like he's very consistent vocally and thematically. It's an interesting direction, but I still feel like it's a bit of an anomaly in his discography. I do think it's the perfect album to get into the drain gang sound, it's not too abrasive, overwhelming, or experimental that it would drive off untrained ears. That being said, I think a high 6 is a fair rating of it given that Anthony is a bit of a sad boys and drain skeptic. To me, this is like a high 7, I don't have many complaints, besides some boring moments and some underwhelming vocals.

[@sadtearex6921]

Icedancer thrown together? The slowly shifting themes, transitions, and evolve in sound throughout the album makes it one of(if not the most) consistent and put together bladee projects imo.
