Splendor & Misery is the second studio album by experimental hip hop group clipping., released on September 9, 2016.
Most of the songs are written and delivered from the perspective of the artificial intelligence within the cargo ship. After Cargo #2331 hijacks the ship, he is the only person left alive. The A.I. watches him as he begins to suffer cabin fever, rapping to himself as he attempts to control and reroute the ship. The A.I. implies that there are no habitable planets for him to reach. The A.I. begins to express romantic feelings for #2331, even though they are unable to freely communicate. Eventually, #2331 begins to cause havoc on the ship to try to get the attention of the A.I. After this fails, #2331 commits suicide by putting himself into hypersleep, with no one to wake him up since it is beyond the parameters of the A.I. In the end, the A.I. muses on the life #2331 misses, asking for confirmation several times before finally putting him into hypersleep.
