I can’t believe it’s a debut and not a single song is a skip. They‘re referenced several times in the MF DOOM biography and it‘s funny how much the “your favorite artist’s favorite artist” rings true for them

It's no secret that I'm Power-Pop-pilled.
and Real Heads already know this, but the Perfectly Imperfect spray logo is uhh... heavily inspired...by an obscure archival Teenage Fanclub t-shirt from the early 90s. That being said, I'm new to The Toms & this album, I'm just happy to have discovered it. Isn't the best when an artists comes out the gate with a debut that already feels like a Greatest Hits compilation? Unfortunately none of these songs ended up being hits, but they damn well sound have been.
This becomes even cooler when you consider that The Toms (which is really just a dude named Tom from Jersey) recorded all 32 songs in his garage over just 3 days. Legend shit for real.
My favorites are "Other Boys Do," "I Did The Wrong Thing," and "Passport to Heaven," but if I'm being honest I truly love every track on here. i LOVE this album.

Incredibly well researched deep dive into hip hop history and DOOM’s unmatched place in it. I remember when DOOM passed I couldn’t help but feel like a friend had died, despite him being notoriously private, and this book calls that feeling out by name within the first few pages.
It’s a respectful and insanely addictive read

kind of memey because it’s on so many “must own records” lists, but it is actually worth it, and it’s definitely an album best listened to worth playing in one setting

i will literally always stop someone who is hogging a conversation when someone has been trying to say something—what you have to say is important and I care 😤

I’ve been talking to my therapist a lot and finding a lot of healing in reminding myself that I’m growing into someone that little me would’ve thought was really cool—especially when it feels hard to like myself
Listening to the same music, loving the same movies, loving to read, changing up my look, loving clothes, loving animals. A lot of these things made me feel weird or nerdy at the time now feel so core to myself. I’m just baby me in a bigger body, we all are ⭐️
