Action Bronson – Mr. Wonderful (Discussion Thread)

[TheDarceKnight]

was there an album this year more disappointing?

It's up there. Probably. The first few joints he released for it were the best ones on the album, so then when the ones people hadn't heard were trash, it made it even worse. I said it before, but I think he basically ran out of things to say and put out so much work over the past few years that it was almost silly to even label it as a "debut album."

He tried to make a concept album which is a bad thing to do for your first album. Should have made a regular LP. Its not wack but its not good either

Yep. Action and Alchemist were on the Breakfast Club and even Alchemist was like "You tried to do too much. For a debut album you should do what got you in that position, but do it just a little bit better. Don't try to reinvent the wheel on a debut album."

Terry is the best song on the album to me, and there's maybe 4 songs on the album that I kept.

He kept saying it was his ''major'' label debut and another thing I heard on the interview was that he wanted to try something different (explaining the singing in the album) since he gave us nothing but rapping on his other projects.

Which was the main problem I had with the album: not enough spitting. I don't know why you would experiment on your first major release but I'm still a fan but I think he could have did better with this album. Baby Blue was cool so was Actin Crazy. Those two songs + A Light in the Addict & Terry are the only songs I synced on my phone.

Look in her eyes, I see danger, and man is this shining bright.
