Critical reception

Spin wrote that "on Straight Up Sewaside, the fidgeting raps keep coming, with pumping, vinyl-hissing production, and that was enough. In this case, more of the same was impressive and even admirable."[4]

gollark: But `/dev/urandom` would also contain a program which would PREVENT the image editor from running AND one which would delete it from every computer in the world.
gollark: See, we have these, but not arachno*capitalism*?
