The kindest thing I can say is that this is a regression from the previous album.

Agreed.. lotta skippers whereas I can basically play the last one front to back.

"In the A" and "Gossip" still two of my favorite songs of the year tho

I love this album. Not sure what the rest of you are listening to.

You can find it on Pirate Bay btw.

Probably not as good as the last album. There's two songs that I pretty much have to skip when I listen to them ("Mama Told Me" and "Shoes for Running"), but I pretty much like everything else on here.

Not bad at all. The only songs I don't like are "Mama Told Me", "She Hates Me" (Kid Cudi is just awful, he ruins the song).

Feelin' all the Little Dragon tracks (she's one of my fav vocalists, so I'm somewhat biased).

Definitely not as good the previous album. No doubt the heavy indie rock/electronica vibe will turn many off.

I know there's a deluxe version but is there any additional exclusive target or best buy bullshit? Got burned on Kendrick Lamar.

This. Album is pretty mediocre to begin with, bit big boi in particular sounds uninspired as fuck.

Does the hook on "Tremendous Damage" say "tearing up my sober" or "tearing up my soul, but?"

Big Boi has referred to Sarah Barthel of the upstate New York indie-pop duo Phantogram as his "new Sleepy Brown"

Didn't expect an album like this. Very hit or miss, but I give him props for trying something different, but basically not what I was hoping for from a Big Boi album.

After getting over my expectations this album has really grown on me. On the whole it's completely inoffensive and pretty catchy/poppy background music.
Sadly still think Big Boi himself is the least inspired part of the album (which on the whole is much more catchy than actually inspired), but I'm surprised that I'm still listening to it from time to time (more surprised by how many of the songs I didn't shitcan entirely when pruning stuff out for bigger playlists).
