Source-derived summary

New World Depression is the fourth studio album by American hip-hop duo Suicideboys. It was released on June 14, 2024 via G*59 Records and preceded by three singles: "Us vs. Them", "Are You Going to See the Rose in the Vase, or the Dust on the Table" and "The Thin Grey Line". Budd Dwyer produced the album, with additional producers Aasis Beats, 685floyd, and KXVI.

Critical reception

Emma Garland of Crack commented the album "doesn't reach for new subject matter as much as it reframes the old". Additionally, she added that "There's a fresh sharpness to their delivery on New World Depression, too; a weightless calm washes over the whole record that would previously only appear in flashes."

Steve Erickson of Slant Magazine wrote "While $crim and Ruby are now in their 30s, tracks like 'The Thin Grey Line' have a teenage edgelord quality to them: 'Talking about killing got my dick getting hard.' The group's attitude remains similar, with brash boasts mixed with equally extreme evocations of outrageous violence and drug use. Over the course of an entire album, this grows monotonous, just as their relentless, exaggerated misogyny quickly becomes grating."

He additionally stated, "Horrorcore isn't known for tasteful lyrics, but even its uglier moments have been a way for artists to express their struggles with addiction and mental health. The fact that, for $uicideboy$, these experiences are so closely tied up with how they treat women makes New World Depression a harder pill to swallow.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2024 album by Suicideboys. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q126951187. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
