I think Billie's performance on this album is incredible and the production is great as always. I only really find L'AMOUR to be a skip, everything else is really great. There are a multitude of tracks on this album that I would consider perfect, and they make this into the great album experience that it is.
I'm aligned with the masses since I think this album is hot garbage. It goes from decent to mid to horrendous and back to mid to end off. I'd say the main 3 tracks that redeem this album somewhat are The Fate of Ophelia, Opalite, and Wood because of the production being as fun as it is. It's a shame that the lyrics are as cringe as they are on that track. Actually Romantic and CANCELLED! are the common worst tracks, and yep, I agree.

I can acknowledge the fact that this track objectively has a lot of problems and isn't really that good, but I unironically really enjoy this. It almost feels like a novelty track for the community and is a cool April Fools joke, but beyond that, it's nothing special. I think Sammelot and Colon do really well in their verses, and the production is really fun and bouncy, almost. EVW's verse and the hook are definitely the weak parts of this, and the hook especially is pretty bad. ... read more
Non-stop incredible vibes and flows from Phife and Q-Tip, and the production is the perfect cherry on top. It's beautiful also that I feel like anyone can truly have their own opinions of what their favorites are as I haven't seen two people who had remotely the same opinions on each track on this album. For me, Show Business is probably my favorite track, and my father thought I was kind of crazy for that, and I love that.
As intended, this album is a great time from start to finish. It definitely has its weaker tracks like the double track, which is my least favorite, and Mommanem of course but I don't necessarily count that. There's not much to say about it, it's just consistently really fun and accessible.
