A$AP's long-awaited return leaves much to be desired, yet provides a new, refined look at the "Testing" style he is clearly gravitating to. What people often overlook is that this album features many great tracks. "STAY HERE 4 LIFE" is one of his all-time songs, and the first half of "DON'T BE DUMB/TRIP BABY" is incredible.
Half the album is top-tier generational Kanye, while the other half is a jumble of vaguely coherent tracks that show the repercussions of overambition.
Reminds me of MBDTF in the way this album manages to have two of Kanye's greatest songs while being crammed with 5-7/10 ...songs.
