Love this album
Heard it 3 times now in full
Common has BARS...as I said earlier I wish he rapped more....I kinda zoned out due to extended singing or instrumentals that overstayed their welcome imo. Then the stretch from A Bigger Picture to Rain was the weakest section of the album but it ends triumphantly imo. The rest was brilliant.
Pyramids is other worldly.
If we going by the Source system...maybe 3.5 mics under the harshest possible rating.
Still best album this year coz this year has been dog shyt anyway, but that's not an insult towards Common. This is worthy of his exceptional discography.
