DwindlingSunWas a bit surprised to see the near instant and overwhelming praise in here for this one. Definitely been way more of a grower for me. Considered it more on the muted and inaccessible side at first and wasnt really feeling it.
That stretch from Big Love - Endgame is really great. The whole thing flows perfectly and there are some brilliant transitions.
Center City, World Market and Sandra were a bit forgettable to me. And didnt think Sideshow added much at all on Alarmed. Airdrop too is a weird kinda hold-music beat that I aint really feeling. Vocals can really swing between clear and muddy on a lot of these tracks too, especially with his delivery.
Crystal Ball works a lot more for me in the context of the album. Ghoulish and Frogville are both very strange but work for the most part. Leaders of Tomorrow is really beautiful, especially that intro, great sample.
Biggest highlights for me were Big Love, addictive hook on that. Zaza - flow is amazing. Babyvillain - incredible, top tier MIKE track, Pogo-esque vibes with the sampling. Endgame and Tailwind are both really special too.
Definitely grown on me a lot. Largely very cohesive and good to see him trying new things with his style of writing, flows and production. We take experimental to mean abrasive often but here he really strips some of these samples back in an interesting direction that you gotta appreciate even if it might not work 100%, like in Ghoulish.
Not gonna topple TOJ or WIMP for me, but its another really good and interesting release that I'm appreciating more and more with each listen.
You obviously don’t produce beats. Ghoulish worked 1000% .the metronome hit perfectly with those chops .... Probably his utmost skill when it comes to lyricism. Thats a gem 💎 within itself
