The best thing about this album is that it so versatile you don't know what coming next
The first half was very strong then the album became weaker
Rocky gave some amazing flows in this album like stole ya flow air force
The beats are no miss
Is it a good album? Yes
Does it deserve 8 year wait ? No
By the Time I Get to Phoenix didn’t really need time to grow on me since I already listen to music like this The production is cold and stripped back and the whole album feels empty in a way that’s clearly on purpose It never tries to be catchy or easy and that’s why it works
It’s uncomfortable but controlled and every idea feels fully committed That’s what separates it from most albums in this lane
sounds nice and nostalgic but still feels kinda safe even for that time The production is warm and smooth and the vibe is consistent but nothing really stands out or pushes it forward It fits the era but doesn’t rise above it
Easy listen not very memorable
loud as hell and kinda unhinged but it works The classical samples go stupid and give it that dark dramatic feel It’s not an easy listen at all some parts straight up wear you out but the energy and ambition make you respect it
Not something I’m spinning daily but it hits when you’re locked in
