Is “Awesome” the Shed Anthem?

I miss the glory days. The gang is all here.
This song, lyrically speaking, is a pretty good indicator of what Shed is capable of. Every member’s verse on the song is practically peach perfect, and my god, on this one there is some stars. Laker can do his own thing. But my god, the teasing video for this song was legendary. I remember being summer 23 or 24 and getting hype to the cupcake shop teaser video in the summer. Thanks for dropping laker. Thanks Shed Theory.

Given the depth of references and massive amount of ground the beats cover, I think it’s safe to say that Body of Work as an album should not be taken like other albums. Despite songs like Slavery, Chaos in the Order, Never Feel Again, and several variations of Art is Sucking The Life Out Of Me being too “dramatic” or slow, this objectively does not make a difference for me in musical quality and as a concept these songs make a great addition. A few of those songs also serve as thematic glue because they’re some of the only songs with similar and especially important lyrics.

I can see why people might not have the patience for Art is Sucking The Life Out Of Me, but these songs are well made, and important for the experience and their meditative effect.

In my opinion, this album shows how much more electronic and music in general can be explored. Beats on songs like I’m So Attatched, Mercay, Turn Off The Lights, Chaos in The Order, and Conference really show a new and fresh sound that has not really been heard in any way shape or form. That being said, it is even more of an experimental album than the previous releases and so can’t really be enjoyed in the same way other artists albums might be. I think all in all, it’s excellent as a release and hopefully will inspire a higher expectation of quality for future underground releases.

I don’t want to steal too much color from anyone else’s perspective, this is only my interpretation of the album.
