    Hype = Praise
    The lyrics and artwork may be good but I can't hear why any musician or reviewer can really stand up and say that this is an outstanding good album.
    At first I thought "Is it a joke"
    17 ideas which have not been finished would be my positive summary.

    The Mood is subdued but cavalier, more of a mixtape. [Nov 2016, p.24]

    These records might not eclipse Channel Orange, but they have their own mercurial gleam, mapping the spaces between people, reaching for a hazy intimacy that almost feels real. [Nov 2016, p.112]

    When the workers step into another room, suit up, and begin spray painting the boxes, the music takes on a more soothing, droning, electronic quality with distinctly ripping synths and chirping, muted background vocals. In short: the music finally becomes strong enough to make these unimaginably boring visuals watchable. Sadly that beautifully soundtracked spray painting sequence ends all too soon.
