Can't fucking wait to listen. I try not to hype shit beforehand. I prefer to bump shit half way through before proclaiming it the best shit ever just to forget it later. But this shit right here? :shit:

So glad this album lived up to the expectations.
Same here. Ronald Reagan is the early standout for me but more than half of the album could easily take its place. Shit is bonkers.

Gonna cave and pick up that C4C/RAP Music vinyl set now.

this is the only track I skip actually. something about the flow and the beat doesn't really mesh for me.

I feel the album is evened out. Starts out tuff. Hits a climax (n/h) at Don't Die, slows down for one track and hits another climax (n/h) at Butane, and ends as an album should with the last three tracks.

The sequencing is perfect.

the sequence between track 1 and 2 is somewhat awkward, but otherwise runs nice.

I like the album, it's good, but I think overall after this and El' new album I'm honestly a little disappointed with his production for the first time ever.

Sounds like he's hit a comfort zone with that super hard drums + synth style and it doesn't sound to me like he's taking that many chances anymore.

usually when El did production on a whole album ever beat had it's own very clear identity, for the first time I feel like some of the beats on both these albums sound similar to other ones on the album and kind of retread the same sonic ground.

In El's defense, I think it's in an effort to make a cohesive album on a whole.

why did they cut "burn" off the album? woulda fit perfectly for track 2 or 3.

this is mike's best album since ghetto extraordinary. maybe better gotta give it some time.
1. Nas
2. Drake

having not heard all of mike's previous solo efforts, i still can't imagine this isn't his best, and most cohesive, to date.

noz talks to el-p about making beats. putting it in here because they talk more about the album with KM than his solo

I'm fairly sure that will be the consensus. But all of them are worth hearing. Pledge 2 and Monster are my favorites aside from this.
