![]() Carnage was able to channel some of the hot sounds in rap and EDM while simultaneously taking some big risks. It is not my style of music but as a critic sometimes I have to turn preferences off. That being said, a massive potential of remix ability lies within the walls of ‘BATTERED BRUISED & BLOODY' and I have to imagine producers are standing in line waiting to get their hands on the stems for these tracks. While there are no doubt standouts on the album, as a whole, some of the tracks are forgettable. Not gonna lie I honestly enjoyed myself thoroughly during the first listen through. ![]() One moment I am listening to an emo infused hip-hop record and the next I am flying at like 200 BPM trying to figure out what the hell happened. I honestly had no idea what to expect as one song transitioned into the next. That is what made listening to this album pretty entertaining. The tracks range from full-on rap tracks to heavy trap, to hardstyle and honestly everywhere in between. So yeah – no shortage of modern day prestige on this LP. While we have heard a handful of these tracks as single, the unreleased tracks feature the likes of Mac Miller, SKELLISM and Migos. The new album features some heavy hitters across many genres of music. So love him or hate him, you have to respect his hustle. He has a legion of dedicated fans who lose their minds over his signature sound and continues to sell out MASSIVE shows all over the country. While I sit here and review his new album on a site with EDM in its name, I am sure somewhere in the world another writer for Hot New Hip Hop or Worldstar is doing the exact same. While Carnage is quite outspoken he has done something not many artists are capable of achieving – serious success in two distinct genres. I don't like his attitude, a lot of his productions are not really what my tastes align with, but then there is the reality of the situation. I gotta say from the perspective of someone who has listened to and loved electronic music my whole life, every bone in my body wants to hate him.
