I do think this album is slightly less culturally important and perfected than To Pimp A Butterfly, but just by a small amount. I do give a very very very slight edge to it over TPAB due to the replay value, which is arguably one of the best in the genre's history. This album is masterpiece, after masterpiece, after masterpiece. Maybe a few songs I'm not as into such as "Real", but it's still a great song nonetheless. You can be a casual listener or a die-hard, ... read more

You already knew. Everyone knows how perfect, beautiful, meaningful, hard-hitting and well crafted this album is. The only thing I can nitpick on this album is a slight worse replay value than good kid m.A.A.d. city. A lot of these tracks are at full potential when in the context of an album listen, not as standalone tracks. Mortal Man is also a perfect song, but I question how many people sit through the full interview. Not much more could've been done here, to be honest. Maybe it's ... read more

JID is the goat. That being said, this is his worst album, the last 4 tracks knock the rating down. Thankfully, the run from tracks 2-10 is insane enough to still make it amazing.

Screw whatever I had written here before. JID is my favourite artist, I don't care if the rating seems unfair. This is a near perfect tracklist for me and this shows every part of JID I love. Obviously though there were still things to improve here, given this was his debut album.

What an album. It's really near perfection. I think serious conversations need to be had. The lyricism is second to none and I think it is truly the best combination of lyrics and depth with catchiness and overall enjoyment for the listener. It is rare albums like these are made, and I think this will be looked back as possibly one of if not the greatest solo (so no Outkast) album of Atlanta hip-hop history.

THE GLAZE KNOWS NO LIMITS. The argument commonly used to criticize this album are the melodic cuts, which I find to be all genuinely great. Some took me more time to get used to than others, but I really find this to, although more straight-forward and superficial, JID's best overall project. Of Blue might just be JID's best song so far and I really find no skips in this album, besides the interlude.
