It’s a fun trip into the 70s, doing the era justice. It just fails to stand out enough past the first few tracks to be much more than a sweet background listen.
It’s lacking the latchable, catchy moments I come to expect from Bladee. It feels very monotonous. The passion of cold vision hasn’t seemed to carry over. There is some nice atmospheric production from white armor per usual to enjoy tho
Listening to this album and it’s like hit, hit, hit, hit. Simply one incredibly charismatic and catchy chipmunk soul/rap bop after another.
It just gets too obnoxious to enjoy some of the cool Peggy production. It’s not awful, but I can’t say I want to listen to it again
At least it’s not the torture chamber those first few tracks suggest it will be. It’s just at best bland and at worst quite annoying. Iffy iffy is alright and Saki is a bit fun tho
I had to laugh at the knocked loose sample. JR fans are eating good. Shits crazyyy
A very consistent and enjoyable record. Simply smooth and vibey with great lyricism
It’s a barrage of bland 4 on the floor dance beats. It comes across clear this is not his forte. It feels amateur and emotionless

There is sooo much reverb and those drums and guitars are very loud. I don’t think there’s a single frequency that isn’t being blasted 😭 the vocals are hard to hear but this is very beautiful
It’s a bit tough to rate cause I haven’t heard anything entirely like this, but it’s very pretty. The production is very lush and gorgeous and I would love to hear it expanded on.
The back half gets a bit samey and forgettable and it could go without a couple of the skits, but the front half is a generational run of tracks with some of gunns best beats and flows and incredible features
There’s some cool production but some of the hooks just don’t do much for me. It’s at its best for me when it chilling in a lush soundscape
Features one great verse. Otherwise, it’s a short lil ep that sees little simz trying something new and it unfortunately does not land
I personally prefer what’s happening here more than yall. It just doesn’t go anywhere really. I like it tho
I wish it didn’t take me this long to get around to this. This is some incredibly charismatic and thoughtful modern soul. It’s so breezy and smooth
A very solid conscious hiphop record that just loses steam for a bit in the middle

"@Sli 😭 I just like fuller songs. The beats here were cool but they sound like beats that would be part of full songs. I guess they don’t do enough for me to fully enjoy as instrumental tracks, but that’s just me"
On bigsuckyslurpys's review of Robin Callaway - i saw an angel in the mirror
"Idk if I would call them an industry plant but I get where you’re coming from with that. They just got real lucky with the one guy that kept recommending them. I was here when they had under 100 ratings and it had been like a year since the album released. Anyway, I kinda agree. I like this album but it’s not very memorable outside of the title track for me and the 100s do feel overblown imo. I think it comes from the fact that the people that are finding this album are the exact demographic that would love these kinds of noisy and emotional songs with big climatic finishes. It’s not to say this album doesn’t deserve love, it just happened to find the perfect audience on aoty to get the love it’s gotten"
On Bladee - Sulfur Surfer
"@kenosis I’m not necessarily saying he didn’t have more passion for this than cold visions, it just felt like that for me personally. He does have the monotonous voice to sound jaded on cold visions, but he does a lot more than that with some passion rich flows and singing, and the songs just stuck with me more on cold visions"
On Sli - CCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHNOO
"You aren’t being harsh at all if anything I might have been lmao
I gave it a second listen and I hear what you mean with the variation. I will say the sounds still felt samey and the mixing feels clunky to me but thats a preference thing and I don’t want you to make music that appeases me over yourself. As someone working on music myself I respect the hell out of this"

"Honestly compton feels like it fits better towards the beginning has a similar vibe to like bitch don’t kill my vibe and backseat freestyle but story wise that prolly doesn’t make sense :/"
