Yay another irrelevant artist to review. To be fair, this did debut at #60 at least so I suppose he's bigger than fucking Palisades and Blueface. So let's see what info I can dig up about this guy. No Billboard or Wikipedia pages, so we're basing this off of his Spotify bio On his Spotify bio, he says that he started out making lyric-based rap. But now, he's started party bangers similar to... Lil Pump and Lil Uzi Vert. Not exactly who I would choose to site as my inspirations, but hey you do you man. Apparently he's also a high-school drop out. The last thing I find notable here is that he brags about his debut album making the Billboard 200, without mentioning it's peak position. I don't have very high expectations but hey maybe Comethazine will surprise me, you never know.
Overview
The album itself is 17 minutes with 10 tracks so uh yeah not a great start. Comethazine himself as a rapper is...fine. I'm pretty sure he has absolutely no talent. But he's too boring to actually get annoyed with, and at least he can stay on beat. Overall, the whole album does feel better than some other album I've reviewed. That is simply due to it's overall forgettability and dullness, compared to albums like Skins or Dying To Live that I actively loathed listening to. This was just 17 minutes of basically nothing. I didn't hate it, but I certainly didn't enjoy it. Let's get into the individual songs:
Individual Song Reviews
1. ONMYGRANNYKIDS: The bass here is way too low. It doesn't sound good at all. Neither does the sparse clicking that makes up 90% of this song's production. The less than 2 minutes I had to listen to this song for felt way longer than it had to. This is just a lazy bore 1/5
2. I BE DAMNED: Guys. How does one make a synth off key? I don't get it. Literally the point of using synths is to be ON KEY. This song uses a synth that is OFF KEY. Compared to the last song where nothing was happening, too much is happening here. I'm literally getting a headache listening to it. 0/5
3. BENJAMIN COUNTER: Wow that is a grating synth. Also I haven't mentioned this yet, but I suppose I should bring up that in like half the album someone (I assume it is Comethazine) is screaming "bitch" in the background. Yeah not really an enjoyable song. 1/5
4. NONSENSE: Whoohoo back to the overproduced messes. It's kinda hard to explain the unique awfulness of this song, so I'd say listen to it but the songs sucks and I wouldn't wish listening to this on almost anyone. So just take my word for it. 0/5
5. HIPPOPOTAMUS: This is perfectly passable. It's not good, or even decent, but it's too boring to actually care about. Aside from some.... not great lyrics, this is fine. I'll probably forget about it the second the album is over, but the melody is pretty decent for the most part. 1.5/5
6. HOW DO YOU DO?: The baseline here kinda reminds me of the baseline from Look At Me! which is not good. However, Comethazine is actually able to deliver a pretty solid flow here. He speeds it up, and he is significantly less boring when he does so. So yeah if it weren't for that baseline this would probably be decent, but as it is it's a 2/5.
7. 4 POUND: Comethazine takes a page out of the 6ix9ine book and screams literally everything in this song. So I guess since he's yelling them at me really loudly I could talk about the lyrics. They suck. He's talking about killing people and fucking people. Creative. 0.5/5
8. GUSHER GUTS: God can this man stop yelling "bitch". It's gotten really fucking annoying. Also holy shit I was too right about the 6ix9ine thing, he kinda whispers here after yelling in his last song. In case you're unfamiliar with my thoughts on Tekashi, I don't find this to be a good thing. 1/5
9. DEMAR DEROZAN: The melody here could be kinda interesting. But the measure ends one note too early, so it ends by going up which doesn't sound good. Also mixed with the same generic trap beats half the damn album has used wasn't a good choice. Neither was having Comethzine yelling "bitch" again and again and again and again and again and again. 0/5
10. WINE & DINE: Yay it's almost over. This is honestly perfectly fine. Comethazine sounds pretty decent, but the song is dragged down by more bad production and "bitch" yelling. 2/5
Final Thoughts
Rating: 2/10 (Awful)
Best Song: HOW DO YOU DO?
Worst Songs: NONSENSE, I BE DAMNED, DEMAR DEROZAN
