I think LS certainly had the more colorful offering but the sheer degree of skill on display here makes it undeniable
The layering, the progression, the fact it’s all done alone from scratch? He’s made something to talk about

The engineering here is powerful
Phenomenal bass

It’s really crazy that rap totally veered away from these types of bass drums in favor of that jetson 808 for multiple years
Absolutely terrible sound

This makes me want to see him lock in with cranes for a front to back proj
May 23finally found time for my first listen. strong aoty contender. i will say though, i think i expected even more from this as i hold him to very high standards. so maybe a i’m a tiny bit disappointed, but still this feels like a really really great body of work & i can’t wait to listen to it more in the following months.

definitely not as astounding as London’s Savior at first glance but I will let this marinate before I form any opinion on which one I like better. One thing I will say though I do think he executed his vision for this pretty well…. knowing the context he’s been teasing for months & having watched that Zane Lowe interview prior to this

It looks like Roshina and Tina Temps wrote the whole album
Between them doing all his lyrics and him doing all the production, they have a very interesting working dynamic
Mink learning gatar for this album makes me more eager for his future too
May 23We made it

fakemink: Yeah, when I was doing London’s Saviour, I used to listen to a lot of grime, like a lot of Skepta and JME. But, now, it’s just been drill. That 2018-2020 era drill is nostalgic to me – it reminds me of when I was in secondary school. I love UK drill. Some songs are just undeniably catchy; the melodies are like a pop song. It’s just their own melodies.
What sort of songs?
fakemink: You know “PCD On The Mains” by 67? To me, that’s like the peak time. The drums... There’s a lot of UK drill that isn’t just the standard sliding 808s. I feel like a lot of new UK drill gets boxed into this New York drill sound, but there are so many songs that have melodies that will go unheard by someone who only listens to a Zuko or a fakemink.
I think Creep serves as such a brilliant example of what he was talking about here

All Eyes on Me sounds like it could’ve been made in the 80’s or the 2100’s
