On the cover of his second studio effort, Comethazine the Album, St. Louis rapper Comethazine sports a maniacal smile, staring directly into the camera with a look on his face that suggests pure evil. It's a knowingly constructed expression and one that Comethazine has perfected with various press photos and videos, but this serial killer caricature is a perfect match for the ominous menace of the album's unrelentingly ruthless 18 tracks. Much like the majority of his output, Comethazine delivers all of the songs here with no featured guests. It's standard for him but also continues the atmosphere of isolation and misanthropy that's pushed in most of the lyrics. Blunt, eerie trap beats make up the majority of the instrumentals, but an uncharacteristically bright synth hook drives "Solar Freestyle," and Comethazine adapts a flow akin to Lil Wayne's peak years rather than his usual amelodic trap cadences. The grim atmospheres of Comethazine the Album are similar to releases from around the same time from Young Nudy, but where Nudy sometimes dips into over-the-top horrorcore lyricism, Comethazine's portrayals of violence, revenge, and sexual exploitation are all set in less fantastical (and arguably bleaker) scenes from his daily life. Album standouts "Six Flags" and "Spinback" are still mired in the brutal energy of Comethazine the Album's overall presentation, noticeably absent of hooks even when lyrical patterns appear. In fact, the repeated coda of the 83-second track "Lord" is the closest the album comes to anything resembling a chorus. Commercial appeal isn't the point, however, and Comethazine the Album's grizzly lyrics and overall sinister feel only bolster the demonic persona Comethazine has been growing into up to this point.
