I am shocked. This certainly is not what I was expecting. Everything on this album works: the excellent production, the raw and rough and sometimes off-putting vocals, and the transcendental instrumentation. It manages to hit all the prog and psychedelic notes while doing its own unique thing, something that is still uniquely Lil Yachty. Even the longer cuts kept me rapt and interested. There were very few low points throughout what is a fairly long record. Its groovy, ... read more

There is a wariness to this album, as if it is coming back from war after seeing the worst of humanity. But with each tentative step forward it becomes more and more light-hearted and open, with the vocals prevailing above the dark backing instrumentals.
