Mixerr Album Reviews #1,494

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Buttabean - Psycho Therapy.

Buttabean’s Psycho Therapy album is a much more dark grimey album than all of his other albums. He showcases his dark persona image on Psycho Therapy. His lyrics are dark and have a cold chilling effect. The album has themes you would see in a horror film. That alone gives this album of his a cold chilling effect. In fact, songs such as Game Still Cold, Situations, Choices, and I Can’t Understand all help give this album a cold chilling effect, mood, and vibe. A theme of death can be heard on songs such as Somebody’s Gonna Die, Tonight, and Situations. Buttabean’s Psycho Therapy album is Waco rap at its finest.

Psycho Therapy is a dark album that delves into real life thoughts of what’s inside the mind of a psycho. The beats are hard. The mood is both dark and cold. Dark can describe the mood and theme for Psycho Therapy. The whole album is cold itself in a way.


I Can’t Understand samples Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata by using and sampling its triplets from the musical notes. Yes the Classical period piano sonata. The sound has been sustained electronically by using a modern electronic piano instead of a forte piano. Damper pedal was used at the opening, but changing the pedal as the harmony changes. No half pedaling was used.

Heavy use of fortissimo was performed in sonata form of A-B-A vamp form. The keys A-B-A were used and performed in vamp form. This version of Beethoven’s piano sonata was performed in C# minor. Most of this Beethoven sample uses the triplets in C# minor key and D{b} major key.
The first movement performed in C# minor is written in A-B-A form using an octave which is both quiet and loud at the same time. The second movement was written in D{b} major key.

Triplets served as a prelude to the lyrics by using basic tempomar keys. Now triplets are a standard in music composition. Triplets are divided into 3 musical notes instead of the standard 2 notes or 4 notes. The triplets challenge the rhythm and counts we are used to as triplets are complex. Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata is the most famous music composition that uses triplets. Triplets from musical notes are what make this song memorable and stand out.


Psycho Therapy is a dark song that delves into real life thoughts of what’s inside the mind of a psycho. The beats are hard. The song is more dark than cold in terms of mood. Dark can describe the mood and theme for Psycho Therapy. The whole track is cold itself in a way. Psycho Therapy is a dark suspenseful track filled with drama.

I Did It By Myself represents the self-sufficiency and motivational drive of Buttabean. Buttabean has motivation in both his rap and his own life. He has been self-sufficient a large portion of his life. He strays away from the haters on this track.

Situations is a dark suspenseful track filled with drama. In both retrospect and comparison, the song Situations is similar to Choices. The mood is dark and grim. Label mate B-Mack is featured on this track.

Choices is a song about making choices in life. The song itself also reflects on the choices Buttabean has made in life. The mood for Choices is dark and grim. In both retrospect and comparison, the song Choices is similar to Situations.

Shatterday is a rap-rock crossover song that features Waco rapper Flipsyde. The song is fierce lyrical rap son with a live gritty rock sound to it, Think of the sound as gritty country rock.

Bet A Grip is a smooth but gritty rap song which is a Buttabean solo. Buttabean himself strives to flourish and shine on this solo song of his.

I rate this album, Psycho Therapy, 5/5******!!
