ATLiens

This album is unbelievable. Some of the most contemplative, well put together verses on any rap album I've heard period. The choruses were solid, not as good as some of their later albums but damn I was barely paying attention to them. I was totally captivated by the verses. They could've gone on an extra two minutes on each track and I wouldn't have cared. This album is so different from Stankonia and SpeakerBox, it's insane. Honestly these beats sound like the vibe you get from Eminem's early albums. Somber, cold, but textured. This is a 90 for me on first listen, I've never been so ready to give an album that high of a score. I guess with time it could go down to an 85 but never below that. Wow, I'm blown away. The storytelling is second to none.
