    The raps are often unaccompanied by beats, and this decision, combined with Diggs's deliberately rigid flow, results in a poetry slam aesthetic with only the faintest of links to the generic conventions and pleasures of hiphop. [Sep 2016, p.47]

    Suffocating, stressful, and challenging, Splendor & Misery is uncompromising in its desolation, and it’s all the better for it.

    Splendor & Misery paradoxically stands as Clipping.’s most and least accessible albums.
