but the issue that arose with hw is that their sound and approach was so distinctive to the point where it's abundantly clear they're not involved any longer -- as you say hype was about complete sensory overload in every sense, their mid-period songs were masticated samples and their approach was completely shrouded in pot fug but somewhere along the line it emerged as a songwriterly identifier which is appreciable in both blunt's work and perhaps more so in lolina, their evasion of identity in itself was a very strong one informed by the instincts of the two and it's abundantly clear when they're absent which undermines the whole vision slightly. like 10/10 is very clearly blunt (sounds identical to uk2uk) but it seems as if he consciously left a chasm that copeland would've filled which in itself is a concession to the fact that hype was the product of two very strong musical personalities.
