17. Well. I haven't given this a full listen in years. I can't say for sure, but what I got out of this was, X wanted to take the opportunity with his new found fame to finally make his voice heard. He's had other tracks that he expresses his emotions in, but this album, https://twitter.com/Chisel1337/status/1253057984248401920
As he says in the beginning, is literally the inside of his mind. I think he wanted to use this opportunity to make his debut studio album something you could listen to if u wanted to see what kind of person you've come across. Past all the moshpit music and
Bass and "cocaine for my breakfast" type shit he wanted to show you the sadness he feels and has dealt with, the traumatizing things he went through that played a part in developing his aggressive side. I can appreciate X wanting this moment to be him exposing
His inner vulnerability and emotional side to the public. He demonstrates this vulnerability in tracks like Save Me. My favorite tracks are Carry On, Orlando, and Save Me. Tracks I'm not fond of are Depression & Obsession and Dead Inside. I love X and keep an open mind when
Listening to his work, but whether we want to admit it or not he has a couple mumble songs. Dead Inside is one. Its kinda like he's just breathing out the words. I want to hear X SPEAK. when he talks about the things he goes through and the feelings he has and I can HEAR it,
I'm absolutely glued. X was always very fascinating to me, from the very beginning. When I first heard Fuck Love a very long time ago, it gave me a sense of familiarity that physically effected me. I heard the beat and it brought me back to childhood feelings right away,
Which confused me. But made me feel surprisingly comfortable. This is what truly sparked my interest. I would hear him speak on things in interviews and such, and he would say the exact feelings I couldn't put into words, sometimes in the very moment I was feeling them.
Alright, I've gone on enough. Back to the album itself. I like the calmer approach he gave aswell as the meaningful, at times violent lyrics that surprisingly synced with the melodies to the point you hear him talking about a finger in his stab wounds and don't bat an eye.
This isn't an album I find myself coming back to often, but when I do the feelings I experience are overwhelming and comforting. Overall I give 17 a 7/10. Long live Prince X.
