1. loud erratic beats ≠ experimental
2. fast repetitive triplet flows ≠ experimental
3. constant weird bars about women ≠ experimental

i thought i was a huge peggy meat rider but this thing was grating to get through. the flows hardly ever change. instrumentals vary from bottom tier brostep to a decent demo. almost everything blended together so nothing is really memorable. super disappointing.

Assuming this actually gets the updates to mixing and removing the AI, this genuinely has potential to put him back on the level of quality he was on for Donda (hell, maybe even Ye). But for now, I can't really trust these updates will ever happen, so songs like Preacher Man (AI) still drag the album score down. The highlights are surprisingly great, but the rest range drastically from really solid to kind of forgettable.

I thought AOTY was glazing Quadeca like always but lowkey.... this thing is worth the hype.

It's scary how close this sounds to old Sublime. I so hope the December album rumors are true.

This thing is a huge grower. Honestly I didn't love it at first, but I am literally addicted now (I've kept it playing on repeat since it dropped). If you don't think it's anything special at first, I highly suggest a relisten just in case you may have the same experience I did.

istg if this goes below 80
AOTY snobs and oldheads are physically incapable of enjoying any rage whatsoever. Even RYM is giving this project its flowers right now.
This is easily one of the most inventive, creative, eccentric, eclectic, end electric albums of the year. Unlike a lot of typical trap/rage albums that have come out recently, each track on this album feels fresh, and just as fun as the last. (The bass on this album is absolutely killer). I really struggle to see why people are ... read more

it is so much worse than i thought it would be.... best i ever had is really misleading cuz this thing is a total snoozefest outside of that. (aside from unstoppable and bria's interlude which are hot steaming garbage.)

idk what u guys heard this is peak 😭😭

This may be the perfect rap album to skate to holy shit.

The title track is obviously the standout here, and it's an undisputed classic (for very very good reason). The other two songs are just ok, not much to write home about.

Words cannot describe how beautiful this album is. The writing is some of the best I've ever seen in an album. It's varied. It's perfectly produced. It's inventive and unique. It's relatable and down-to-earth. In short, it makes you truly feel every gut punch throughout. It's everything that a perfect album should be.

Slightly more consistent than Burnin', but missing a slight bit of the hit factor that Burnin' had. Overall, an improvement. Once again, the first 4 tracks are the best part of the album. I was glad to hear the improved production here, the bass came through well on this record.

An absolutely entrancing experience. I've had some previous experiences with Krautrock, all of which were incredibly mediocre, repetitive, and boring. NOT this album. Going from groovy to eerily experimental, this album is straight-up captivating. It's hard to say whether I liked the first half or the second half more. Way ahead of its time for 1971.

Though this album is frontloaded, it undoubtedly contains some of the greatest Reggae tracks of all time. "Get Up, Stand Up" and "I Shot the Sheriff" are instantly recognizable. The best part of this album, however, is the extra political tone it takes over its predecessor. It's not the best Wailers project, but it is certainly still worth the time, especially for the 4 track run at the beginning.

I'm split on this album. The instrumentals are fantastic and downright horrifying- I love them. But the vocals... sometimes they work? "Girl With a Basket of Fruit" is a great track, and I think the vocals work perfectly there. But other songs, like "Amargi ve Moo" and "The Wrong Thing" feel strangely operatic and pretentious. I find that the sound/style of the vocals really takes away from the instrumentals and lyrics for me. I loved the album's intensity, ... read more

Didn't know I needed this in my life. (I needed this in my life)

This feels like a violation of the Geneva Convention.

I don't normally rate singles but I couldn't help myself. This is the single most brutal diss track I've ever heard.

Severely underrated. Not only does it have the big hits like Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, and I Am the Walrus, it also has some really great overlooked songs: Blue Jay Way, The Fool On the Hill. This certainly stands among their strongest, and I think it has immense potential to grow.

Favorite Tracks: The Fool On the Hill, Blue Jay Way, I Am the Walrus, Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, All You Need Is Love

The most consistent album I've heard from The Beatles yet. However, it just doesn't have as many standout tracks as Revolver or Rubber Soul. I do hope that will change though, as I do like all of these songs. All that aside, it's a great album and shows the group continuing their blazing hot streak.

Favorite Tracks: With a Little Help From My Friends, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, She's Leaving Home, Within You Without You, A Day In the Life
