Arriving a year after their ninth mixtape (2020s Stop Staring at the Shadows), New Orleans rap duo $uicideboy$ issued their official sophomore full-length, Long-Term Effects of Suffering. Sticking close to their usual script, Suffering is a dark and spooky affair, focusing on the harsher side of the human condition with its nihilistic lyrics and bass-heavy, haunted house production. With song titles like If Self-Destruction Was an Olympic Event, Id Be Tonya Harding (featuring a clip of Nancy Kerrigans post-attack cries of Why, why, why?) and Lighting the Flames of My Own Personal Hell, listeners have an idea of whats involved here (while fans will be pleased to hear the guys havent veered too far off their button-pushing and offensive-for-the-sake-of-offensiveness tracks). Upon release, the set landed at number seven on the Billboard 200, their highest showing to date. ~ TiVo Staff
