In an effort to secure herself as a pop stand-out and because she is feeling like nothing special, this British brash bad-girl-but-not-really is pushing herself to look like an icon and finds the answer in the same syncretism that was responsible for the evolution of pop since its inception. She finds a stable enough place somewhere between EDM, club-pop and dance with just the right touch of industrial to let you know she's worthy of attributing herself to the self-deprecating single-word description that is the album title. The result is something not special enough to make all this effort worth it or make pundits bother finding out what all the fuss is about. But it doesn't matter. Because for you and me the result is the kind of pop music eventful enough to make it interesting and therefore distracting from whatever dark liminal space reality frustratingly keeps setting us in.

Brockhampton - The Family 2022
5/10 - review: This record consists mostly of unfinished, unpolished songs. Not to mention the lack of input from anyone else in the group. Some tracks like "Big P&ssy" and "The ending" had potential but get cut short. I don't understand why they had to make an entire album out of one mins long songs.
If you're going to listen to this record, do yourself a fawour and skip any song that doesn't go pass the two mins mark. That's pretty much all that record has to offer.
