Mechanical Royalty

  

   So when I picked this album, I wasn't expecting it to be rap. A nice chill robot with three brains, seemed like it would be a little more calm. But Babbletron brings the edge with Mechanical Royalty. I guess you could say I liked it. Rap isn't normally my favorite genre of music. But I'm pretty pumped on adrenaline right now so I'm gonna be generous with this.
     After listening through the album for about an hour, I can't say any one part of it really stuck out at all. Now this can be interpreted as a good thing or a bad thing; the album just really isn't memorable, but it flowed together really well from song to song almost like telling a story. I don't have a favorite song because I don't remember any songs, I just remember an album. There was more than one rapper on the tracks which provides a good variety. One constant component of Mechanical Royalty was its intricate background music. There were many interesting sounds pleasant to hear as well as shocking; but all in all, it provided a good balance. I would recommend this album if you are into rap and hip hop. But for people like me who are still on the outskirts of this music genre, it might be a little much to take in at one time. Happy listening.
