The following is a review I wrote in high school for Senior Project. Just posting it for posterity and also to expose more people to this spectacular record. I hope my writing as a 17-year-old isn't too vile as to turn you off. Enjoy. In a world of conveniently disposable media, the idea that something must process over a long period of time has been treated like an after-thought and discarded. There is no need to become attached to art that at most, will stick with a person for a week or so. The internet, in all its forms, has given us the freedom to not have to pick and choose our devotion, and instead, whimsically torrent and deviate our choices in media without consequence. By using copious samples and establishing a concrete re-appropriation of this type of content, Chuck Person aka Daniel Lopatin serves a reminder about expendable culture symbols and the idea of a hyperactive society inundated yet loving that status. In his mind, there is no relic too valuable, no artistic artifact too sacred to be removed from its previous context, and his work here reflects that.
