It took me 3 months to finally write this review, but here we are.
It took me a while to really get into this album. I had it down around a 7/10 before, but after not listening to it for ages. When I finally did, it just clicked. Sonically it is not mind blowing, there are even some moment that I don't think sound great at all. Like Lupe going for a more melodic approach at the start of the second verse of Blur My Hands. Using the F-slur on prisoner 1 & 2. The "pretty darn ... read more

I genuinely don't know what to do with this.
First of all, if you remove every single Kanye verse, that would be a step forward for the album. The mixing generally is pretty terrible. Everything feels not quite complete.

Wow, as a kid I had no idea how horny all these songs are.
It's a decent pop album, it has some of my major annoyances with pop music. Like the "nananana" on S&M, "rum-pum-pum-pum" on Man Down and "eenie meenie mo" on Raining Men. You're just making noises because it's catchy at that point. And I think it works on S&M, but Man Down just sounds silly to me.
Raining Men is the worst song here. Air horn sound effects, making noises because it's ... read more

Trying to add a review for every rating. Deleted all my old ratings. Slowly working on redoing them.
Scores are pure feeling in the moment. Because I change my mind wayyy too much and don't want to re-rate everything track by track.
