Both the “ perspective on his environment ” and the ScHoolboy Qs lecture sound “ extremely varied ” and offer “a wide variety of facets. “The gastrappers provide“ variety without stealing the spotlight from the star. “It is the same with the productions. Negative feedback Kopka the " with 17 tracks significantly longer playing time " than the previous album oxymoron , by the Blank Face LP " next great songs too many filler contained".
