The Fool

Hanging on to the threads of my 20s, but now fully ready to accept old head status if listening to this sterile, mumbling-ass horseshit is what's necessary to stay current.

The Fool is a rather generic rap/pop album by Swedish rapper Bladee. It is over-produced an is full of auto-tune. All tracks sound simular and as a whole it's just boring.

I can only assume that Bladee is pronounced 'Bladdy', as in, 'This is bladdy rubbish!'. It's a rare example of where I'm very grateful for autotune, because it means that Skynet is putting some effort into making this "not monotone". More than can be said for the actual human behind it. Musically, I'm not sure I can describe this as anything other than skittish wodges of bass, accompanied by some soaring synths. It's unimaginative, and just leads me to wonder who on earth put this together. There's been a couple of reviews out there about this being what music is now, and I fundamentally disagree. Another compared it to 100 Gecs and I absolutely disagree with that too. 100 Gecs may use heavy autotune, but their stuff is a grab bag of fun. This is a bag of warm flatulence. At least it's only just over half an hour long.

oh god no. please no

The Fool is terrible, average trap beats pulled from a stock pile and some shit autotune mumbling over the top. 1.

Perhaps the worst album on both the official and user submitted list.

I vaguely know about Drain Gang, but I've never bothered to check out any of their music. Was expecting something like Viper or some real wacky experimental shit like that, but this just sounded like really mumbly boring nothingness to me. Not for me.

1) Cover is not indicative of the content 2) Guy really needs to get over himself

It’s pretty good, though I don’t understand why some people like his music so much

Sucesión de canciones con ritmos un tanto techno, algo de rap y algo de chillout. Algo relajado. No es un estilo que me guste especialmente. Como para tener de fondo, no es mala opción.

Cloud rap, pop rap, trap. Ni fu ni fa.

Didn’t do much for me.

Draingang represented, although this isn’t album I would have chosen. There’s stronger material out there

Generic. This sounds like a 1000 other things out there. Nothing notable about it. My personal rating: 3/5 My rating relative to the list: 3/5 Should this have been included on the original list? No.

You guys hate this shit huh? The future is now fellas

Decent emo-ish neo-rap. And enjoyable listen, though lyrically it didn't do a ton for me. I may be irretrievably aged out of its demographic.

Cloud rap, pop rap, trap. Ni fu ni fa.

Not entirely trash As if Pewdiepie made a comedy trap album 3

I liked this okay… kind of mellow rap that wasn’t my favorite thing but not a bad listen.

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: The fool intro

This did not make much of an impression on me. Short and melodic, just kind of feels like a standard and safe mashup of modern hip hop and R&B to me. Meh.

I think I like Bladee when they collaborate with other artists...i think they fall under mumble rap and I'm not a huge fan.

3/10 what a waste of time

You know in a show where somebody's cousin is a SoundCloud rapper?

Maybe giving everyone with a dream the power to write, record, edit, and release their own music was a mistake

Too much autotune.

What was that ADD autotuned hyperpop album that was already on the list? The 10000gecs? This is virtually identical. 3 minutes of this and I'm good.

This didn't click for me. It's not bad, but felt pretty bland

Not for me

This kind of music is so devoid of musicianship and talent. Electronica has bought us wonderful tools for people like this just to push buttons.

Oh, hell naw!

The cover "art" should've been a clue. The first two seconds should've been a clue. I heard the whine/mumbling and I skipped to the next song. More of the same. Wish I hadn't listened at all. I had plenty of warning. Not worth it.
