In 2017 alone, the 14 member \u201cboy band\u201d has\u00a0released 3 albums, <em>SATURATION III<\/em> marking the end of the trilogy. Even at this rate of\u00a0production, they\u2019ve managed to keep their consistency up as well, with both <em>SATURATION<\/em> Und\u00a0<em>SATURATION II<\/em> turning many heads. However, Brockhampton still refuses to be categorized in\u00a0<em>SATURATION III<\/em>; blending elements from <a href=\"https:\/\/altwire.net\/de\/neugieriger-hip-hop\/\">Hip Hop<\/a>, pop, and even dance in their latest LP.<\/p>\n<p>Straight out of the gate, the song &#8220;BOOGIE&#8221; sounds like nothing the group has ever put out\u00a0before. Beginning with a similar abrasive start to &#8220;HEAT&#8221; in the first <em>SATURATION<\/em> album,\u00a0Brockhampton wastes no time setting the tone for the album. They try to make it very clear\u00a0that although it may bear the same name and similar themes as their previous two albums, by\u00a0no means will it just be a carbon-copy extension of them.<\/p>\n<p>However, this does not last throughout the 15 song track list. Much of the content ends up\u00a0sounding similar to past albums, which isn\u2019t unexpected for an album with the same name as its\u00a0predecessors. For example, the song \u201cTEAM\u201d ends the album similarly to the songs \u201cWASTE\u201d\u00a0and \u201cSUMMER\u201d in the previous two albums, but lacking as much of the sentimental feeling of\u00a0closure. This rings true with a couple other songs here, but the group is normally good about\u00a0bringing something new and meaningful to each track.<\/p>\n<p>All things considered, it\u2019s hard to complain. This album has everything, and it packs it all\u00a0together uniquely. Members like <strong>Kevin Abstract<\/strong>, the leader of the group, display their skill in\u00a0both rapping and singing. The sheer size of the group allows for a diversity of talents to be\u00a0showcased together, and that\u2019s not something you see very often, especially in hip-hop. Not\u00a0many are making anything close to Brockhampton\u2019s music, and their sound doesn\u2019t seem to\u00a0have any limits due to what they have at their disposal. They\u2019ve done everything possible to\u00a0make a splash in the music scene, as an output of 3 albums in 6 months is certainly admirable.<\/p>\n<p><em>SATURATION III<\/em> is a fresh blend of the first two installments of the <em>SATURATION<\/em> series, and\u00a0proves that more of the same is not always a bad thing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brockhampton has had one hell of a year.
