[Mr. Manhattan]

in a shytty year of music, this album is the light in the darkness

good shyt

 

[Black Bolt]

Only 2 days & 3 playthroughs but this album's a let down. Few highs otherwise it mostly meanders without purpose. The brevity of the songs makes it feel like I'm listening to interludes b2b. Early days yet but can't put it ahead of Color in Anything or Freetown Sound.

 

[Big Blue]

[Grand Eeezus Maxwell]

I'm lost on some cats mentioning about it not sounding like NU or CO...why would he keep making the same sounding projects? That's the opposite of what an artist should do.

This is why most artists dont fukk with their fans, they dont understand the concept of progression (or imo, getting bored of making the same thing)

Not to mention their lives and perspectives change. He can't make another NU..his life is at a different point than where it was 5 years ago.

I like frank and initially found this indigestable. I also initially hated "to pimp a butterfly". The hype fukks with me.

After a few days, I can't turn it off. Such a solid album spin. I can do without the high pitching but other than than that, my ears are in heaven.

Got to roll some good weed and play that second part of "Night"
