Even when 6LACK is on cruise control, the emotional hour drives by, hiding thoughtful romanticisms and nuanced musical flashes that are a delight to discover. In something like 6LACK’s own words, it makes for something far more grown up than before.

Such wasted potential.
I feel really bad for this rating, because I do think that 6lack is talented and I've enjoyed a handful of tracks from him, but as an album experience he always fails to be compelling. It's been 5 years since his last album, which is more than enough time to recognize what needs to be changed and adjust it accordingly.

A good album but can be quite bland and times with very little standouts - underwhelmed as I know he can do better. The title track though is one of my favourite songs in a very long time

6lack needs to use a more unique style because everything sounds like it was a same track over and over. Like 2 songs I would replay
