The Book Of Traps And Lessons
''The Book of Traps and Lessons'' is the third studio album by English poet and spoken word artist Kae Tempest, the follow-up to ''Let Them Eat Chaos''. According to NME's El Hunt: "The figures closest to this record’s protagonist constantly take the form of gnarled trees: fingers become delicate twiglets, and naked toes set down roots. And togetherness is the force that continually grounds ‘The Book of Traps and Lessons’ despite the dystopian soldiers that march across its drenched landscape." The spoken word lyrics contain a mix of hope and love, mirrored against the difficulties in today's society. Critical reception According to review aggregator Metacritic, ''The Book of Traps and Lessons'' has a score of 84 out of 100, indicating "universal acclaim".
