Purity is also a cover.

Clearly, she had no ideas, but probably had a commitment to her label to deliver something.

Anyways, it's Otep. Covers or not, it's going to be terrible.

So better than KULT 45. Some tracks are good: Pet, Star
Shopping and Exit Wounds - which they suffer only of
lenght - Good 4 U, Purity; only California Girls it's a
little meh. The very big problem is the production

Something about choosing to cover Good 4 You but then changing most of the lyrics to the point where it alters the overall theme of the song just feels really disrespectful to me.

Oh yeah, this is also musically terrible.

Instrumentally these cover tracks ain't all that bad, and some tracks are actually borderline listenable, but the vocals on the other hand are atrocious imo.

Lower than Najand and both Hercules albums (on your list)? This must be really something.

I find it almost equally as bad as both those releases, which I guess really says something. I had another spin though as I thought I was slightly harsh with a 3, but it's just as bad as I remembered.

I love Otep so much, however, I don't think Covers are her thing.
The best thing about her is her own lyrics and intellect and Musically she never got over Evil J's departure.
The production is better than the last album (Closer to Generation Doom) but it is wasted on covers.
It would probably be better if it was released as an EP or something.
Disappointing release...meh!

This is extremely ironic seeing as "Good 4 You" is entirely a ripped from a Paramore song.

Everyone loves Paramore it seems. MGK ripped them off too.

Ps. Hahaha bottom 20 already

Wow it made the bottom worst albums lists. Nice job Otep, a shitty album and a shitty person. Mix them both together to make the shit smell worse.

This may have actually beaten Nightmares Of The Decomposed as worst album I have ever heard. That's SOME kind of achievement....

As you said in your video, this is probably the worst album of 2023

Nightmares Of The Decomposed is still the worst album but shit is still shit

I think doing a cover album is completely pointless unless you are going to bring your own unique flavor to the covers. In this case, I can say I at least respect Otep's ability to bring her unique brand to these covers. Definitely done in her style.

The Eminem cover actually sounded a little bit like him at certain parts and she actually copied his flow pretty well.

All of that being said: This album sounds awful. Not enjoyable to listen to at all. Okay I actually kind of liked the last track, Godslayer, but it's hardly even a song. It's more so a poetry reading with background music. I don't even know why I enjoyed it, but maybe just the dark imagery evoked in the words did the trick for me. Other than that, this was not a fun listen.

2nd worst album of 2023 just barely ahead of Acrania's Unbreakable Fury 2020 Re​-​Recording.
