Starts off really strong but loses steam after the 7th song. Future sounds hungry, and I like that. I just wish some of his beat selection was a little better or that he had chosen some better colaborators on some songs. But as I said, the first part of this album is nice.
Best songs: KEEP IT BURNING, 712PM
Worst songs: VOODOO, MASSAGING ME
Not much can be said except that RestInPeace is unbelivable and the rest of the album is just kinda meh. Are there SOME highlights besides it? Yes, but not many. The eerie feel BONES music has is just cool but this isnt consitent as an album.
Best songs: RestInPeace, KeepTellingYourselfThat
Worst songs: Soil, Translucent

Best songs: Break da Law "95", Gotta Touch 'Em, Pt. 2
Worst songs: Porno Movie, All or Nothin
