I loved this but it kind of quickly fell out of rotation, it's still great with no skips, but it's not got as much replayability as others
I sat down with this album three times to give it a proper rating, and took the individual track ratings (Avg. 92) and then the "vibe" rating (85), which has landed me at a generous little rating of 88. And while I think that's fair, I also think it will change over time.
This album, like every album from the weeknd that comes along, has some perfect 10/10 songs, but it has a few that fall flat, and I have a problem with how it all ties together (or doesn't I mean)

I think for what it is trying to do, it does it well, but I don't like it, which is just my personal taste. The production is interesting and sometimes the vocals, but often times the sound is just a bit too niche for me.
I think the user score is accurate, nothing bad here but nothing groundbreaking,, I REALLY liked Fanzine Made Of Flesh, would've appreciated more of that autotune vocoder sound on some other tracks but I respect it nonetheless
How many times do we have to use the same flow on the same beats until it gets old? well apparently Central Cee has found the answer. There is nothing new or interesting here, and it's just tiring to trudge through this.... Some fine bars, but some really roll your eye moments too. Saving grace is the Dave verse
I thought I rated this already but it didn't go through, I really wish he used more of the interesting production from the opening track, but I think it's solid, also usually don't love Detroit style rapping but I think this was pretty enjoyable
Fousey talks for 30 seconds, “raps” for 10 seconds and then talks for another 30 seconds and calls it a song…. Every song is a copy cat of another artist and it’s a pathetic attempt at an album. I knew he was beyond delusional but this is a different level. I also can’t believe someone would let him ruin some okay beats (they’re basic but they’re acc okay, like let the choir sing beat is nice and that’s one of the worst songs on the ... read more
I still don’t know why but I really really like this…? Sure some of the production is clunky and there’s some songs I don’t love, but there’s some amazing moments and really interesting melodies. I also think leave taking and I saw love is my fav two track run from the year so far.
Voice is way too clean for it to come off well on this style of music.... it comes off as cringe, especially with some of the HORRID lyrics ("Driving away like courtney love" in a youthful australian accent is not very pop punk) It's just a bit gross like, and that's coming from someone who generally enjoys this style of music ..
There are like two songs that are really good on this, in particular the closing track, but if you're coming here for pop punk, you'd be ... read more
I'm disappointed in this, and not because it's bad, but because it's so oddly inconsistent? There are some really cool sounds here, but sometimes it's 10% too cooky and it throws off the whole vibe. I think overall it's fine but if this was a bit more put together it would be unbelievable
It sometimes wears it's influences a bit heavily on it's sleeve, but that doesn't take away from it's beauty. Gorgeous project, with some lush production and even prettier song writing. I love this soft style and while it's not a presentation of it at it's best, it's a solid attempt.
Lots of beautiful moments on this, I see some people saying the back half falls flat but I actually preferred the last few songs. It's a bit like that Bill Ryder-Jones Album from 2024, where I won't listen a lot but I appreciate it's presence
It's fine, but it just feels super uninspired, it's as if I've heard this music done by a lot of other people a lot better elsewhere? Some great moments, especially towards the back end of the album ( I'm looking at you Hackney Wick and First) but sometimes just falls flat for me. Then again, I don't think I'm the target audience here...
