It's particularly ironic when you consider that this non-linear compilation of songs functions as far more of a cohesive album than controversial rapper Kanye West's latest studio album The Life of Pablo, which whilst being undoubtedly high in quality, is very incohesive, disjointed and borderline schizophrenic. Album Review: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Infest The Rats' Nest.For a compilation of discarded songs recorded between 20, it's remarkable how cohesive and thoughtfully structured the album feels. The other five deadly sins are also referenced in some capacity. Sloth is referenced on 'untitled 08' with lines like, "The reason I never went to work for it, See a nine to five was so jive turkey". Greed is referenced on 'untitled 02' when Kendrick raps, "I just got a raise, Spent it all on me, Diamonds all appraised". The seven deadly sins of Catholicism are a common thread running through this album. Incredibly for a release seemingly thrown-together from off-cuts, there seems to an interesting, hidden thematic component. With a statement like this is it any wonder untitled unmastered is another great musical offering? Like the material on To Pimp a Butterfly the themes of race relations, poverty and depression flow through untitled unmastered. Prior to the album's release Kendrick had performed several of these untitled songs on various shows, stating that many of them didn't make it on the final version of To Pimp a Butterfly simply because he didn't have time to clear the samples or to finish them, not because of any concerns about quality. ![]() ![]() This welcome gift is comprised of previously recorded material which didn't make the final cut of Kendrick's universally-acclaimed To Pimp a Butterfly for one reason or another. ★★ ★★☆ Not a huge amount of after dropping, arguably, the best album of 2015 Kendrick Lamar gave the world a surprise album/mixtape at the end of last week.
