To truly understand this album is to live a life of dejection and sheer misery that most are lucky enough to not experience. The world is one fucking ugly place.
I thought I understood what he was trying to say back when this came out but only now after I've been dragged through the darkest crevices of hell by my schizoaffective disorder in it's worst I actually get it. Thank you Travis..
not going into detail. but after multiple episodes of psychosis over the course of a year or two.. And developing stressful nagging intrusive thoughts plus sum other shit. in short muh dissorders getting much worse & new ones surfacing over the past few years..

hes giving it away for free i was about the download it for free but then i felt soooo bad for bruh so i had to slide that boy a 20 he worked too hard on this
+stephen williams now i feel bad for only sliding him a fiver :/ but ive paid for everything he's ever made and he's basically the only artist i pay for
I feel like I rarely hear anybody ever talk about Lil Ugly Mane in general when it comes to rap artists, let alone this album. It’s insane to me, he’s easily one of the greatest rappers/producers of all time. His beats are unbelievably good. He uses samples in such an amazing, unique way.
A few years ago I used to listen to this and the bedwetter album he did when I was pretty depressed and feeling pretty mentally ill and I dont know if it helped or made it worse. All I know is I appreciated it at the time and I'm doing a lot better these days.
Lol Compliance scared the ever living shit out of me, I was just chilling in bed half asleep. Should have known LUM would throw a surprise noise track lmao.
Dudeeee thank you, I was literally just thinking today while skating "i need new music, whens LUM droppin his last album?" and i just got home and its here! Thank you for this early Christmas present TrillPhonk and Ugly Mane, fuck christmas
Franklin haha nice man, im about to go smoke and skate some washes with my friend high af and play this through his big bluetooth speaker, its gonna be a good day lol
I wish I could tell Ugly that he has been with me since Blackland and Raider Klan and Mista Thug Isolation. He is always part of the synchronicity that keeps me on path- swear. I felt the only person I could relate too. Alone with an Ugly album. Ayyyy
I could read a billion books.. Dude is pretty self aware and bright. I don't think another artist touches his thematic abilities of a postmodern shit world we live in.
Achilles foot might be his best song, but also so could grave within a grave, or porcelain slightly, or serious shit, or headboard, or iron&bleach, or like 20 other songs
This Album is such a fucking master piece, its so good i'm finding it hard to take all in. All the songs are their own pieces of artwork its just amazing
Love how Fantano gave this masterpiece a 5 because he actively ignored the themes of the record and called his legitimate IRL struggles "edgy" I feel like Melon just got upset at being totally called out by the last track
True, the review for this album and the bedwetter one made me really question Fantano's capabilities to interpret an album. How can you listen to this thing and just think he's being edgy? If you don't recognize how much raw emotion is in this album, you're probably dead inside.
Listening to this album is like driving through an endless street in a decaying city. Too choked with the ghosts of dead dreams. The future is canceled.
I love listening to this album while riding the BART at midnight and seeing tweakers bumming cigarettes off each other or some dude just punching the walls on the train or glimpses of the huge homeless camps lining the lil crevasses that the crooked cops can't get to LUM captured a whole ass vibe of urban decay and the existential dread/death drive that results so perfectly here
this album is just a F I R E,and one who gets the most variety, i was hoping that we'll had a song like Uneven Compromise or No Slack In My Mack but there's no one except intent and purulent discharges with an atmosphere extremely dark. big thank you to LUM for making this for free, he's going to stay one of the person that open my eyes this last years and get me in a positive prosperity.UGLY MANE real fan since the demo DEY BOUT TO FIND YA BODY.
For a recording artist, having your shit in a very good skate video has got to be a no-brainer, it's going to bring you so many new listeners. Louie Lopez.
a homie showed me collapse and apear first and I was convinced that nothing could top it. until I heard leanords lake... not the most lyrically fulfilling but damn I cant even describe what im feeling right now
Columns & Intent are the two most pure & uncut I need to catch his vibe. The middle feels a lil stomped on, can't put my finger on what used to cut it with yet. Musician wise speaking obviously.
This some just walking down the street by yourself shit fr lum is life I wish he rapped the part where the robot voice but God damn that was some deep shit.

Lil Ugly Mane is a greatness of humanbeing. Unfortunalety, there is not many people who understand the philosophy and reality of his music.
this album feels very fitting for whats going on right now for some reason
especially slugs
Yes!!!!
Agree man
"for some reason"
can we please not pretend we dont know exactly why
its fitting for almost anytime anything is going on, since it dropped.
One of the more important albums that will be released in my lifetime.
No lie made me rethink life a bit and has a timeless vibe still holds up 4 years later probably will 40 years later

I’m getting super drunk and listening to this at .75x

Kinda chop and screw

A few years ago I used to listen to this and the bedwetter album he did when I was pretty depressed and feeling pretty mentally ill and I dont know if it helped or made it worse. All I know is I appreciated it at the time and I'm doing a lot better these days.
Best album ive ever heard.
Just finished the album and wow. Easily the most creative thing I've heard in a while
Lol Compliance scared the ever living shit out of me, I was just chilling in bed half asleep. Should have known LUM would throw a surprise noise track lmao.
"sex has never given me an ounce of satisfaction" that means so much more to me now than it did a few months ago.
Why
It doesn't give satisfaction when you do it with a person you have no connection with
The first time I heard Columns was some of the wildest shit I've ever experienced from an album
+ThePotatoSackers it sets the tone (?) of the album so fucking well
This is far better than I was expecting. These beats man, THESE BEATS
All appreciation goes to the underrated albums that are the most meaningful yet most underrated.
Dudeeee thank you, I was literally just thinking today while skating "i need new music, whens LUM droppin his last album?" and i just got home and its here! Thank you for this early Christmas present TrillPhonk and Ugly Mane, fuck christmas
Franklin haha nice man, im about to go smoke and skate some washes with my friend high af and play this through his big bluetooth speaker, its gonna be a good day lol
Ricardo Santos IV You dont know i didnt pay fucker lol, cuz i did when i could afford it like a week after i posted this
it wont be his last
i fell apart and took my mind with me, just a cluster of atoms fallen deep into a chasm ....... damn
I wish I could tell Ugly that he has been with me since Blackland and Raider Klan and Mista Thug Isolation. He is always part of the synchronicity that keeps me on path- swear. I felt the only person I could relate too. Alone with an Ugly album. Ayyyy
He’s super poetic, his words are graphic and make good imagery
In my opinion the most engrossing and gut wrenching was that text to speech passage, that was all writing, no delivery to carry it.
Achilles Foot might become my favorire Ugly Mane song ever
I could read a billion books..
Dude is pretty self aware and bright. I don't think another artist touches his thematic abilities of a postmodern shit world we live in.
listening to this was the first time I felt understood in my entire life lol - absolute masterpiece through and through
Gooning has never given me an ounce of satisfaction 😊
First time listening to this guy at 3 AM, I'm sober as can be and his beats are creepy as fuck, glad I'm not high because I'd be trippin hard

+demig0d james ur tite bcuz of that
+demig0d james how'd it go?
cant... cant remember...
+TRIP GOD what's up bud :-)
I love the ambiance of this album, really pretty and elevated synth sounds
Opposite Lanes to Achilles Foot to Collapse and Appear is one of the best 3 songs put in sequence ever like holy
Achilles Foot get overlooked on such a loaded album but I love wrapping it. Feels like a sonic rubics cube.
ikr? the track order on this album is just magnificent.
A mad scientist in a basement constructed these beats! I can feeeeeeel it!!!!
that robotic verse at the end of collapse and appear ( 19:05 )? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? love u ugly...
this is the best christmas present ive ever gotten
I'm so lucky I didn't first hear this album during my darkest, most alienating, and most isolated days.
this album is just as unforgiving and harsh as i heard it when i was happier but it definitely hits different in darker times
Modern masterpiece.
Based on his name I always thought he's some worthless meme rapper but dude actually has some really great lyrics.
I think his name is supposed to intentionally mislead you like that.
Mabel Tesfaye Perhaps
+chaosinorderrr it's satire my friend
name also inspired by comic book character. much similarities to mf doom moniker.

Drain Counter and SLUGS is my shit
eyy me too
+Vextos That morose piano loop on SLUGS though
Yeh that's a creative genre
Decades from now, a Lil Ugly Mane documentary about this genius would be awesome to watch (:
just a documentary on him in general.
fave track - grave within a grave
after hearing grave within a grave I want to be cremated
Achilles foot might be his best song, but also so could grave within a grave, or porcelain slightly, or serious shit, or headboard, or iron&bleach, or like 20 other songs
This Album is such a fucking master piece, its so good i'm finding it hard to take all in. All the songs are their own pieces of artwork its just amazing
siri verse from collapse and appear was next level

Love how Fantano gave this masterpiece a 5 because he actively ignored the themes of the record and called his legitimate IRL struggles "edgy"
I feel like Melon just got upset at being totally called out by the last track
fantano is mentally handicapped from driving his car into a wall of sunn amps
Fantano's opinions are dumb asf sometimes, like his MBDTF review or the Swimming review, that's why I always see his takes with a grain of salt
why would anyone give a sh*t what the egg head thinks
fantanos a hack, a cuck and a total fucking loser, dismiss all his opinions
True, the review for this album and the bedwetter one made me really question Fantano's capabilities to interpret an album. How can you listen to this thing and just think he's being edgy? If you don't recognize how much raw emotion is in this album, you're probably dead inside.
gonna miss him droppin shit from this project but what a way to finish it off god damn
Craziest album I’ve ever heard
"You know what the rattling pieces are in this, don't you?"
"what?"
"Some little pieces of buffalo chicken."
Thank you, uglemane, for existing
"Ohuuuu"
I feel like lil ugly makes albums are kinda, reprogramming your brain to see things for what they really are.
There’s white noise in the beginning don’t b alarm tho it’s all conditioning reforming
Opposite Lanes is an amazing song
he speaks so well about society, humans and death.
Listening to this album is like driving through an endless street in a decaying city. Too choked with the ghosts of dead dreams. The future is canceled.
I love listening to this album while riding the BART at midnight and seeing tweakers bumming cigarettes off each other or some dude just punching the walls on the train or glimpses of the huge homeless camps lining the lil crevasses that the crooked cops can't get to
LUM captured a whole ass vibe of urban decay and the existential dread/death drive that results so perfectly here
I still haven't been able to sludge my way through this. It feels like it's something you wallow in.
it wallows in you
This is seriously one of the best albums I've heard in a long time
"A familiar voice"
'He's finally at peace'
"Shreeking through the silence to remind me I'm deceased"
This line really puts this song in perspective
why am i crying right now
Because you just realized everything's a lie and nothing is as it seems.
You just realized this world is a joke in disguise
because there was something devouring you.
