had this album is a step up and how polished the production sounds tom is at least always improving in how professional his music sounds but this album just wasn't enjoyable and i think it might have suffered from the fact that tom wanted to drop a mixtape along with this album for a total of NUMBER_TOKEN tracks just one year after his previous album rather than putting all of that focus into just one project there was also an issue i mentioned in my flowers for the dead review where i said that a lot of the instrumentals on there sounded like tom produced them by using pretty common preset loops and not editing them all that much which is something that a few producers in the comments that video actually agreed with it was something i started to suspect when his song fake fans used the same sample as new earl sweatshirt culture vulture used the same sample as lone wolf by convol and famous used the same guitar sample as sleep by call me charisma and while i guess it's a little bit less noticeable on here because these tracks do have more layered production than flowers for the dead the production is at least more layered on here i still couldn't help thinking to myself when i heard the opening melodies of a lot of these tracks that they might not be produced by tom himself and might just be some standard preset loops i'm not saying that's NUMBER_TOKEN what they are again i'm not a producer myself but it's just the vibe i get from how these instrumentals sound um not as much on gravestones as with flowers for the dead but it's still ideally not what you want people to be thinking of when they hear your production and so that brings this chapter of the white boy trilogy to a close i have no clue if i'm ever gonna cover the latest couple of albums that tom mcdonald has just dropped because like i said it seems like he's becoming almost like a parody of himself lately and with a lot of his NUMBER_TOKEN tracks it's so predictable what they're gonna talk about after you've heard a couple of them that it's not even fun to listen to at this point it's just boring and at this point i think i've said what i need to say about tom mcdonald if i ever feel like talking about him again another day then you guys will know about it but for now we're drawing the cdtv tom mcdonald saga to a close the war is done and in my next video we're going to be moving our focus over to another resident rap game white boy who might just be worse than tom mcdonald himself for the third and final installment of the white boy trilogy stay tuned also once again another shout out to karma for sponsoring today's video this was a long ass video so i appreciate all the help i can get thank you karma links in the description below
