I was completely jarred by the first track dropping the N-word left and right. I'm sure many people have rated the album 1/5 and stopped listening there. However I've made it a goal to listen through every album in full on this list. I had to read up on the history of this album to see that it's a satire of American culture, particularly the south. With this in mind, this album became much more interesting to listen to. This is an album that requires active listening and not turning on as background music at work. I'm not rating this album based on how much I enjoyed it but rather the effect it had on me. This is an album I'm going to be returning to understand better. Also the instrumentation is fantastic. It's some of the best I've ever listened to. Would recommend listening to the Revisionist History podcast episode on this album to better understand the context.
