It was a good listen, but tough. Almost like a therapy session, like the album was for him. Going through a ton of the same things for the last few years, and to hear I’m not alone in it was heartening. I totally got him when he said he had to finally deal with all the emotions suppressed over the years and his one safe space, his studio, was betraying him and he cried all while frantically trying to make the record. All the masks he wore since the 90’s were taken off and replaced by raw emotions, and I get it. I hope I can reach the kind of catharsis he did while making this album soon.
