It's not THAT bad. It's disappointing and mediocre, especially for a legendary artist such as Nas, but it's really not that bad.

This is some of the best production I've ever heard and it's from some dude with 12k Spotify listeners. I am super excited to see what both John Michel and Anthony James can do in the future. Good god, this is amazing.
Tracks 2 and 4 suck but 1 and 3 are genuinely masterpieces.
Some instrumentals just flat out don't fit Benny's style, unfortunately. Some like Camillia's and Don't Make Me, however, are gorgeous.
Space Oddity, Letter to Hermione, Cygnet Committee, and Memory of a Free Festival were all great. Rest were pretty mid.
Key Nyata's verse is incredible. Great verses all around though.
The Cowboy is so fucking perfect. I kinda prefer this version, their long ass albums are sometimes a bit of a slog to get through. This was great.
Over the course of 2 and a half hours, my view of ambient music has significantly changed. Still don't fully understand it, it's quite boring and monotonous, but hopefully with more exploration into the genre, that'll change.
