The third studio album from New Orleans doom and gloom rappers $uicideboy$ continues the shadowy production, aggressive energy, and intense lyrical themes of their earlier work, but also conveys moments of newfound positivity and even some self-aware humor. Not quite as fixated on drugs, death, and pain as their earlier work, Sing Me a Lullaby, My Sweet Temptation still shocks with raw lyrics and eerie G-funk instrumental cues on the old-school tinged "Fucking Your Culture," slowed-down R&B hooks on "Escape from Babylon," and a winking nod to the haters on "$uicideboy$ Were Better in 2015." ~ TiVo Staff

罰当たりなバッド・テイストまみれのダークな世界を繰り広げるニューオーリンズのデュオが3枚目のフル・アルバムをリリース。憧れのメンフィス・ラップ古典から不穏な声ネタを転用した不吉な作りは毎度のやり方ながら、クラウド・ラップ感がやや後退して洗練されてきた感じがしなくもない。SWVを不気味に敷き詰めた錯覚メロウな"Unlucky Me"、横倉裕による琴の演奏をループした"Resistance Is Useless"が恐ろしい。
