pretty much cliched, sounds to me like 50 cent in 2005.
"Legacy" and "Bill Walton" are more appealing than the rest.
Pretty fine record. I skipped nothing, even though I'm not really into hip-hop. The mid-part (songs 9-12) are obvious filler but the first and the last few ones are much better.
Fave ones:
"Swim in the Light", "Rose Golden", "Wounds"
Yeah, ok, it's overproduced and stuff, it's not genius or anything but Kyla is one of my favourite artists. She sounds different.
("Woke Up Dead", "Been Better", "Walk", "Love You Better")
Songs 1-5 + 11 are insanely good, the others are mediocre. Gentle Man is freaky, you either love it or hate it.
Favourites:
Jimi Infiniti
Wiolyn
Eli
probably i'm overrating it a bit but who cares
What You Gonna Do Now? is absolutely brilliant.
Kinda repetitive at times but kicks ass anyway.
Favourite ones:
Adieu au Dancefloor
Naive to the Bone

"lol, you guys. i just never edited this review, though i admit it's pretty stupid. with "average" i mean "just another", not that the record is average in quality. it's a good album but overrated imo."
