My empathy is bumming me out.

Bo Burnham: What. — 3.5/5

It doesn't reach the highs (and lows) of 'Make Happy' or 'Inside,' but you can still see the underpinnings of the man inside those two things: wanting to be sincere and needing to be funny. Deciding between pleasing everyone and pleasing yourself. Deconstruction of the form leading to deconstruction of self. It's placing the like poles of two magnets together, and being caught in the middle of that force that is trying to come together, but can't.
