s/t just means self-titled.

like a twitter version of eponymous... got it. Thanks for clarifying!
I guess for database purposes and stuff I'm curious if people care/is that what they called it?

many other sites have it as s/t... so whatevs.
Was more curious than anything on why Spotify didn't match, but their database is sometimes a joke too.

I love Danny, but to me this was a pretty hard comedown from Old/Atrocity Exhibition. The beats are nice, but not nearly as interesting as the previous batches. The lyrics are less raw and reflective and instead we get more sex raps (but not exactly more entertaining ones). Don't get me wrong, I still really enjoyed the album. But less than half is made up of what I'd consider truly great material, and it's backloaded. Juneunit has picked off my vote here.

For me it was about the tunes. I felt like this was Danny's most tuneful record released. First two tracks really "sing" and the rest does too - featured artists are also really musical/unique voices. Musically, to me, Danny's most interesting, even if some of the earlier records were too. This one immediately connected.
