Some people describe this as one of the few true "post-rap" albums, and it's a cool genre name so I'll agree

Just coming back to ask if you have heard/enjoy the new Panopticon? I’m no expert of that folk/black metal genre, but I enjoyed it a lot. I don’t think I’ve ever heard vocals recorded that way or the way they are in the first or second track - they are VERY far off and almost unheard distant screams. Anyway, love the chart.

Shame knocking out Lice from the top spot. Yikes! Need to check that soon then. And that Viagra Boys Lp. Heard a few tracks off that and was mighty impressed!
