In My Own Words:
Am a Cultists. As in, A Writer's Cult. As for books, I will recommend what I love and be deathly silent about what I hate.
Am 100% American, born and raised for all of its contradiction and yet still humbly proud.
Am not the sharpest, not the dullest. But I'm still a knife.

Loaded is like a dark thriller movie for the blind, and the most effective way to experience this album is from the beginning to the ending, and without pause. Though, I shall admit, I myself can listen to "Die 1 by 1" over and over, again and again. Because Lynch is such a conscious and powerful lyricist, and I cannot fathom another track that portrays this more profoundly. This album also contains Loki's legendary debut verse on "Thatz What I Said" "I've seen / War-machines & street marines / Dirty ninas in the hands of ghetto fiends / I'm caught between...

This, to me, was like reading Bukowski pumped with steroids. This is a true noir and an excellent book.
This was a little difficult to read quickley, being a first-person, limited present narrative. The reader finds themselves slowed down quite a bit, stumbling over which character said what or if something wasn't spoken at all; this makes for a very conscious read. This is an almost dizzying writing style, but when it is done well IT HAS A VERY POWERFUL EFFECT. Baer is certainly a great writer.
