This is actually quite fascinating, and definitely a new way to do (for lack of a better term) a “concept” album. I’ll give it a spin in the next few days.
Loved your review. Now I have to listen. It is a sad truth that we all would do well to understand the incel phenomenon. I suspect it’ll take some emotional stamina to stomach the humanization of “overconfidence, braggadocio, douchebaggery.” But maybe there will also be some healing in the process. Or maybe I’ll just be entertained by the artistic wholeness of it. I’ll let you know!
The album is confronting musically and lyrically but I think he deals with an important if very unsavoury topic in a really innovative and insightful way.

I’m shocked it hasn’t shown up on any year-end lists.
