Rating: 55/100

This album was given to me as a recommendation from the artist, and I'm sorry to say that I am very disappointed in your work; don't get offended. The album is very much an average eccojam without much thought put into it and is just a rehash of something very similar that came 4 years before it (Cough, cough, Chuck Person). It even uses the same opening track of "Africa" by Toto as one of its sample bases in the third track, come on buddy.

Some minor highlights, however, come from the second track, which makes a clever homage to artist Mac DeMarco, by utilizing one of his influences from the documentary "Pepperoni Playboy" by Pitchfork, by using the song "Dolce Vita" by Ryan Paris. Other than that, the artist isn't doing anything original or creative in the genre, and since Vaporwave is already incredibly easy to make, it comes off as very cheap and shallow.
