Who told Ken it was a good idea to base like 80% of the production and mixing on Lose It from AGC? I wasn’t a fan of that song when it dropped :(
That said, there are some solid songs on the album, especially when there’s a beat switch.
Like most rage stuff, I feel like I need a few more listens to really figure out how I feel about it. Right now, I’m kind of on the fence.
Favorite track: Kryptonite

Nothing on here was a 90 or above for me but nothing was less than an 80 either. Dancing with your eyes closed definitely grew on me ever since the last time I listened to it.
Obviously nuts production but somehow it didn't really work beyond that for me.
JRJRJR remains my favourite on the album.
Favourite song: JRJRJR
Least favourite song: N/A
Lots of potential. Tonser and The Bird have great production on this already but it kinda lacks uniqueness in a majority of songs.
Favourite song: entity (by far)
Least favourite song: valkyria
donda ahh cover (gonna look stupid when it changes)
It all came together so beautifully in the end, even if you've listened to the 3 prior singles.
This is why I love music.
Favourite track: Skins
Least favourite track: Wake Robin
The songs everybody wanted on release day.

Ich glaube ich verstehe, warum das Album nicht auf Spotify oder YouTube ist
Lieblingstrack: Sporttasche
You can tell he still has that ear for samples but this production isn't Kanye standard (obviously) and the mixing is just pretty bad as well. Let's not start talking about the vocals or rapping, sometimes "enhanced" by AI.
Just please stop releasing Unc.
Some absolutely smooth production from Saba & No I.D.
Songs like Every Painting Has A Price, Breakdown, BIG PICTURE or How to Impress God really stood out. Some of the lyrics on there are really great.
In general, a lot of the other songs also have good production, but their topics or lyrics didn't catch me as much.
Whilst pretty much every feature was selected right, I wanna especially praise BJ and Ogi (who appeared several times).
Very good album.

Well, that wasn't worth the wait
Favourite song: I SEEEEEE YOU BABY BOI
Least favourite song: OPM BABI
(55 -> 70, already grew on me somehow)
Vibe immaculate as always, even on all 4 the best.
Love that beat switch on mad love and their verses on all 3 tracks really.
Also fire artwork + photoshoot (basically on the spotify pictures)
Favourite song: mad love
Least favourite song: poser
Respect to the "objectively" good production and also a lot of Daveed Diggs' verses but I was just not a big fan of a lot of stuff on here. I get that clipping., like they usually do, went for a very conceptual approach on this album but the interludes just irritated me.
Apart from Aesop Rock, I was also not big on the features.
This could be a grower but for now, I'll mostly return to the singles.
Favourite song: Run It/Code
Least favourite song: Interludes
Lil Tony for me is certainly better on quicker beats. I thought a lot of stuff here had potential, but the production wasn't the cleanest or he didn't really go all out with his verse.
Definition of a mid album for me unfortunately.
Favourite song: Jail Experience
Least favourite song: Maxxxine
hello how r u, i am under the water, please help, here too much raining
Favourite song: Wakusei No Namida (probably my favourite song this year)
Least favourite song: Cochlea
I think I preferred when they had the sword.
Favourite song: No Strings
Least favourite songs: H A L O
Whilst I did enjoy the message on Salvation, it didn't really catch me as much as I thought it would've and stayed more as a well though out concept rather than well executed.
Other than that, from TRUST! to American Doll I wasn't really feeling the songs, even when they freshly came out.
I do at least leave with the positive of liking the run from Tears In My Pocket to Twist The Knife. I will fs spin those a lot of times.
Good album.
