Not 100% consistent throughout, but for the most part this is a really good record. A very impressive debut from two 17-year olds.
It started out so strongly with the first 2 tracks that I was ready to give this an 85+ rating. But Mensa couldn't sustain the quality over the whole 7 tracks, unfortunately. Still, a decent effort with some really high high points. Ended very strongly on the last track too.

On MySoftBulletin's review of Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. COLLECTORS EDITION.
"I agree. I am a pretty huge Kendrick Lamar fan, I rated Section.80 and GKMC! as 100/100 albums and TPAB over 90, so Damn was a let-down tbh. Whether played forward or backward, it's okay but nothing more, which from Kendrick is a real disappointment.
+1 to not understanding the hype."
