really stands out from the rest of that crew IMO. completely different vibe and it really works.

i like this
it's kinda cool how that somehow Odd Future makes ppl care about some weird dusted backpacker record that should be out on stone's throw

only thing i don't like about this album is RZA saying "fuck the freckles off your face bitch"

he was terrible on that James Blake track. has he had any decent guest spots in the last few years?

also i think it's kinda charming when there are little parts of verses or phrases or w/e that i can hear exactly in MF Doom's voice, just perfectly Doom

i don't really like RZA on their just in concept, i don't want famous guest appearances on earl's shit, i like how it's all insular and crew-only (like early wu-tang actually!) even though i get that rza is probably a touchstone for these guys

the way he's used tho feels more like a dropped-in sample (even if the recording is original) than a real guest appearance tho. even if it still doesn't really work.
― s. cloverlandthug (The Reverend), Thursday, 22 August 2013 20:53 (ten years ago) link
everybody loves this album. in case you didn't know. ann powers was raving about it today on facebook! i haven't heard it yet.

Record is boring and underwhelming. It's the Lincoln of 2013 rap albums, a prestige effort that was pedigreed into good reviews, but that even critics who bestowed it with high ratings won't feel passionate about in a year
― Evan R, Thursday, 22 August 2013 21:12 (ten years ago) link
Honestly I'd rather bump Yeezus, even if this record has 3-4 cuts that could maybe rate a year end tracks list for me.

too bad we can only like one rap album per year ;_;
― s. cloverlandthug (The Reverend), Thursday, 22 August 2013 21:21 (ten years ago) link
I'm guessing "prestige effort" = "preemptive sacred cow"

now THAT album i love. i have a beautiful original pressing of it. so magical. and strange in its way.
― scott seward, Thursday, 22 August 2013 21:30 (ten years ago) link
i think whether this is disappointing or not kinda depends on whether you are viewing it as a dusted weird underground rap record or an "event" album like watch the throne or good kid, m.a.a.d. city....
the spin review was otm in saying that earl's profile in the press has kinda meant this album has expectations that it wasn't created to meet
like it should be judged alongside ka's the night gambit or something not kendrick or drake or w/e
― usic for 18 magicians (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 22 August 2013 22:16 (ten years ago) link

i feel like the entire Odd Future aesthetic was painstakingly carved out of all the little corners of the history of hip-hop production and lyricism that i have absolutely no affection for

i've probably listened to this about twenty times through now, it's good.good look with the axelrod samples too

this album sounds good, but feels like it's going to be tricky to really dig in and digest ... like it's more sketch pad than album. or something.

The singles didn't grab me on first listen, but they sound better/make more sense in the context of the album as a whole. It's not really an album of "singles."
