Nah, looking at that list I can tell you you're not alone at all.
Hip hop/rap is difficult for me, I usually have to listen to a track multiple times to understand what is being said. In this case its a concept album and the theme of the protagonist's downward spiral encompasses the whole album so I really had to sit with it on repeat for a while to get at the meat of the music.
Cool, thanks for that. They really do stand apart from a lot of other hip hop acts and it sounds like they've pushed their boundaries with this album. Looking forward to it.
