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.

If you do take any recs, ignore the last 30 or so. They're just kinda there for now. 6/10s and stuff. I'm sure it'll be a stronger chart in a month or so. I didn't mean to dive headfirst so quickly into 2021, but albums I keep wanting to listen to are popping up constantly. Except for hip-hop... I'm in a bit of a hip-hop drought the last few months.

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!
