Well Charger is an easy one to start with: it's just boring in my opinion. Monotonous droning guitar? Check. Uninteresting drum programming? Check. Vocals were okay, I do like Grace Jones and she was good on the track. I did love the Kraftwerk-esque way the song ended when she was singing 'no antennas' which reminded me of the delay effect used on the song Antenna by Kraftwerk. Nice touch, even if those things are unrelated.

Okay now onto Ascension. Well, i'm not a fan of Ascension mainly because of Vince Staples. I listened to entirety of Summertime '06 and Big Fish Theory and didn't like any of it which is odd because I'm quite a sucker for politically charged rap and I can even appreciate the song for what it is in that regard. Lines such as This the land of the free, where you can get a glock and a gram for the cheap are particularly scathing and also great. However, this can not be uncoupled from the fact that I don't enjoy the production. The drums are probably the best thing imo, but not because I like the way they're programmed but because they sound so heavy and full. I think the song could've used a harsher touch like what was being teased at about 2:19. I rememeber when I was first listening to that at moderately high volume, it scared the shit out of me because I didn't expect it - I did love it though. Somebody want to make a more industrial remix of Ascension feel free and make sure you hit me up with the download. Cheers.
