This is an absolute banger, I loved every second of it! I particularly loved the little squeaky rat synth in "These Goofy Streets". Impressive how you guys had a completely different approach to this, yet the album sounds like a whole. Great collab!

Description
These Goofy Streets (Twitchywhalez)
In the near-ish future, society has become a hyper-capitalist technological dystopia. This may seem like a bad thing, but fortunately, the ambient radiation from government nuke tests or some such has mutated the nearby rats into badass cyberpunk rats. With their newfound sentience and coolness, the rats set off on their quest to overthrow the government, getting up to plenty of mischief and wacky hijinks along the way.
Krawl (SocietyManSocietyMan)
Which is more pervasive: the force of chaos that snakes its way through every crack in every wall, or the force of greed that embodies the wall itself? Is an omnipotent entity capable of creating a rival so strong that it itself cannot overcome its own creation? When the vermin you once tread upon without a second thought gain the power to kill, will you be ready?
Rat Race Baby (Twitchywhalez)
Uh oh! Your rats have been stopped at a security checkpoint, and the only way that they will be allowed through is if they can beat the guard in a race through the breakcore factory. If you lose the race, you get fined 50 Amen Bucks, so you'd better come prepared!
Ratbash (SocietyManSocietyMan)
This is it, the final confrontation. The battle you've been waiting for your whole life. Fortunately, the final boss, Craig J. Cyberpunk, hits his head on a telephone pole during a high-speed chase sequence and dies about 47 seconds in, so the rats have a party instead.
Message from the artist:
It was fun making goofy music
How does it fit the theme?
The game takes place in a cyberpunk setting. The rats plot to overthrow the uncool ruler of society Craig J. Cyberpunk. The use of electronic instruments and amen breaks reflect the cyberpunk setting and it's chaotic futuristic nature.
