    This album consists mostly of unfinished, unpolished tracks. Not to mention the lack of input from anyone else in the band. Some tracks like "Big P&ssy*" and "The ending" had potential but get cut short. I don't understand why they had to make an entire album out of 1 mins long tracks.

    The record has a calculated fishbowl quality, chronicling the group’s rise and accelerated decline through the lens of a mercurial Svengali. It’s a victory lap with a slightly bitter aftertaste, like champagne left uncorked in a trashed hotel suite.

    The Family is a brutally honest high-point to cap an amazing body of work.

    The 17-track record is as hyperactive, heartfelt and honest as we’ve come to expect from the group.
