Following the release of their fifth album Thy Kingdom Come just months prior, New Orleans rap duo Suicideboys keep the Lords Prayer going with, what else, Thy Will Be Done. Another tortured and brooding affair, its a faith-drenched and-Bible-referencing effort that finds Scrim and Ruby struggling to figure out how to balance their once (?) hedonistic lifestyles with a higher calling (as on "Old Addicts, New Habits"). Content aside, their skills as rappers remain strong and engaging, with beat-forward tracks that make it impossible to sit still. That head-nodding and irrepressible energy make this more reliable fodder for their dedicated diehards, while emo-leaning highlights like the amazingly titled "Whatever Floats Your Boat Will Definitely Sink My Ship" and the deftly produced "Fuck Ups" might attract some new fans to their shadowy underworld. ~ Neil Z. Yeung

キャリア最高のチャート成績を収めた『Thy Kingdom Come』から4か月のスパンで届いた6作目。罰当たりなホラーコアの"Leviticus"でドロリと幕を開け、90年代メンフィス古典を引用した"2009 Reggie Bush"などを交えて押しまくる不穏な展開にはもはや安心感(?)すら覚える。タイトル・ファイト"Safe In Your Skin"使いの乾いたスロウコアも良いコンストラスト。
