The Album Club: "I'll Sleep When You're Dead" by EL-P

I wanted to love this because I love Run the Jewels, but I'm a music person first and a lyrics person like... third or fourth, honestly. I wish the songwriting and production was more varied. Not that it doesn't have some great moments, it's just obviously not the priority here. Unfotunately, that doesn't leave me much to return to.

Take some drugs, turn off the lights, lay down and listen to the album with your eyes closed. You'll get it.
