Welcome everyone to a special episode of Dissect. I'm your host called

Kishna. Today we are doing a first impressions episode on Tyler the

Creator's new album chroma, his eighth studio album technically he

counts the Christmas album. It was released two days ago on Monday October 28th

we are recording this on Wednesday October 28th. We are recording this on Wednesday, October 30th, just about two

days after the album came out. I am joined by a long-time friend of the show, Camden Ostrander. We are going to talk about

chromocopia first impressions. We are going to talk about our favorite songs,

our favorite moments, our favorite features. We're going to try to do some dissecting, some light

dissections of some of the themes and symbolism that I got totally wrong on the

rollout pre-em episode. But, Cam, how are you doing? How are we feeling on this

chromocopia week? It is a beautiful week. I'm doing great. Thanks for

having me, Cole. This is the best. We got a beautiful Monday like for the first time ever in years, so yeah, I know we're going to talk about the Monday rollout experience in a second

Actually, let's just talk about it now because what I wanted to start with was our first listening experience.

Because obviously a big deal about this album was that it was released on a Monday morning, not even a Sunday night, midnight release.

And I was very interested to see how that was going to work personally, but also just generally speaking,

so walk me through your first listen,

how you listen, and kind of your first impressions on that first listen.

We'll get into more detail about like

nitty gritty stuff, but just give me your general impressions on the first listen.

I mean first listen for me is Monday commute like I had to go to work.

It was like almost too much in the morning, you know what I mean?

Like the the maximalism of the whole thing, everything going on. I extended my car ride.
