    I discovered Danny Brown during the rollout of this album. At the time, I was in my own destructive, drug-fueled path. Listening to the album at the time was a serious wakeup call for me and it honestly inspired me to get off hard drugs. It felt like being hit with a bag of bricks and that's just what I needed at the time. A true masterpiece without a doubt!

    @@chiarosuburekeni9325 the spelling record is gorgeous and very emotional to me, I love it. You do need to keep in mind though that it's not a "hype" album, it's supposed to flow in a different way you might just not connect with. It's about the awe it creates so originally through its message on hope and optimism. Danny Brown's, like Anthony says, is a portrayal of the rock bottom. The variety, the surreal darkness lurking through it all. It's crazy and manic and very unique.

    @@chiarosuburekeni9325 The thing so special about this record is it is not regular lyrical hiphop. After track 4 it is something you bop your head to. Once you get to "Lost" you won't stop bopping your head for next 5-6 tracks and you will be hit with hard-hitting phrases like "now I do drugs more than I used to" and "staring in the devil face" which will take you back. This album will make you feel that you are on drugs. The wild and gritty production of middle tracks represents the hangover and more lowkey moments like "Today", "From the Ground" and "Hell for it" represents the sober side of Danny and how despite all this drug consumption he made it out.

One of the first times I really remember thinking 'genre is a prison and we're all better stepping out of its rigid confines' when listening to music. That's really benefitted my overall musical taste and openness and I've grown so much the better for it. Love this album, love you Danny.

    I remember hearing this when it first came out during my senior year in high school. I was going through chemo and the darkness of this album definitely resonated with how I was feeling at the time, even if I couldn't relate to the references to drugs and other things. Besides loving this album for the music to this day, it will always hold a place in my heart because I remember how effective the album was at channeling and helping me cope with my emotions at that dark point in time during my life.

    This along with Injury Reserve's latest album are some of the most pieces of unique hip hop I've ever heard aesthetically No other albums I've heard capture such a noisy atmosphere as those The instrumentals are incredible It's an experimental album that actually manages to break completely new and almost unrepeatable ground The fact that songs like "Ain't It Funny" are as catchy as they are is a testament to Danny's songwriting It also explores the depth of drug use, a theme ALLLLLLL over the record and the album flows perfectly from front to back. No filler tracks. Each one enhances the record. Atrocity Exhibition is truly an album all of its own. In Danny Brown's list of classics, it's his magnum opus. A record that may not be able to be replicated A true masterpiece of our time, in my opinion and one of the albums that make me glad to be a music fan Thanks

Just being in this personal hell that feels like only you can see and hope feels so far away.

    The more i listen to this album the better it becomes, I didnt enjoy the opener and gravitated towards the harder tracks like Aint It Funny and Pneumonia but over the years I find myself loving the low points. Downward Spiral feels like a somber poem more than a song, the way strange horns appear and how he slurs some of his lines really set the tone, and then Tell Me What I Dont Know and Rolling Stone further the “come up” before the high of Really Doe and Aint It Funny. I listen to this album pretty regularly and Golddust has hooked me so hard, as someone who struggles with addiction this track jumps out at you and demands attention, often like drugs and alcohol themselves. Today also feels like the different side of the same coin, the danger and very real possibility your addiction could kill you, but god damn if you died tomorrow you’d cheat today too. Being a big Danny Brown fan and going through his older stuff it feels like this is the culmination of the themes he had been meditating on from his previous 3 projects but hadnt put them all into a cohesive album. “Die Like A Rockstar” on XXX is great example, it was definitely a major theme on the album but it also had Admiral Adderhal and Blunt after Blunt which detracted from the mental anguish he was trying to convey. Out of all the 2010’s hip hop Ive listened to Atrocity Exhibition is my #1 with TPAB at a close #2, it’s imperfect at times but I think it outshines TPAB in capturing mental illness and substance abuse, while also laying some of the funniest bars of the 2010’s. This is my favorite album thanks for coming to my Tedtalk

    Honestly I really love this album and admire it a lot, because despite having listened to some death grips before this album, this album made me feel like I've never felt before. It actually made me feel like I was losing my mind. Downward Spiral for ne is the perfect example. The abrasive, nonsensical loop if the guitars, and it only gets louder during the chorus with the repeated line of "gotta figure it out" in his vocal inflection just sounds so manic, desperate, as if hes out of his mind or close to losing it. It was honestly a tough listen, not in the Corey Feldman or Chris Brown way, but tough in the way that it always makes me feel this way, something no other album has made me feel before. White Lines, Pneumonia, When It Rain, Today, and Ain't it Funny also are tracks that make me feel insane, but something about Downward Spiral being a bit more lowkey in the instrumentation just makes it like the perfect "I'm losing my mind" type of track. I love songs like From the Ground and Tell Me What I Don't Know cause he uses his normal voice, not to say I hate or dislike his higher pitched voice, but it can get pretty shrill.

    I listened to Atrocity Exhibition for the first time today. I have never heard an album like this. The beats are super rocky and psychedelic which I love, and somehow Danny manages to rap beautifully over them. I'm not a huge fan of his high pitched voice but everything else (the lyrics, the beats, the production, etc) all overshadow his voice for me and make this a great listen. I'd give it a 9/10 personally off my first listen.
