Honestly when this came out I couldn't believe what I was listening to, and I'm still so happy that I got to experience this album ON RELEASE.
Alright alright now I know this will seem a bit out of place, BUT there's a reason it's one of my top 10 most listened to albums EVER. I think the main thing that sold me was HYAENA, but so many other songs have that same effect.
I'm surprised I didn't review this already, but yes I love this album so much even now. There was a time where I actually couldn't get enough of this album, and there are still some songs from this album that remain within my rotation.
Now I've listened to this a countless number of times, and I still do not enjoy it through and through. However, the last part of the album is an amazing track run; one of the best I've seen from Carti.

Granted I feel the live album is much better, this still holds true to its authenticity and compassion, thus making it a great album.
I'll probably need to relisten to this album, but yes considering it from an abstract hip-hop perspective it nails every goal it means to strike.
This album single-handedly birthed what is arguably the greatest hip-hop song of all time (Doves), and it deserves a high score for that. Not to mention the rest of the album is pretty good too.
That's a lot of people who don't like it that much and I don't get why. I found it very good, but, then again, what don't I find good.
Call me biased but I love free jazz, especially from the greatest himself.
An album representative of the serenity of the digitization of the world.
I think it's cool, granted I don't fw it as much, but in the future I will most likely do so
This was nice. It's good to hear normal noise once in a while, rather than harsh noise.
After a relisten, I'll say that this is really enjoyable and calming. One issue is I've never heard a studio album from this group before, but I think the serenity displayed through the live recording makes up for that.

"I mean fair enough, it's good to know you liked some songs still though, but yeah songs like "he never existed in the first place" were a bit hard for me at first too. I don't know what clicked in me but I eventually loved the voices in the band, so I'd say give it a relisten like around this time right now, to gather your thoughts again."
