Why did I review the album? It
was recommended to me
Did I like it? I did enjoy the sound, but overall not really
Will I listen again? Probably Not
To be fair, I don’t think this
album ever had a chance of impressing me. Schoolboy Q’s delivery is too wild
for me. I’m not sure why he does it. Perhaps he does it to differentiate
himself from the other rappers out west and carve a niche for himself. Whatever
the reason, I found it distracting at best and extremely annoying at points.
I will give props to the sound.
They were all different, but still managed to keep the chill vibe that I’ve
come to expect from west coast music. The sound was the best part of the album. There were some 90's influenced beats as well as conventional modern beats
Maybe I’m missing something, but
the professional reviewers were giving this album 8 and 9 stars but I can’t
imagine why. It’s not a bad album, but 8 and 9 star albums are reserved for my
all time favorites. Someone that liked the album more than I should
explain the magic behind it because it clearly flew over my head.
