It's a dope album, especially for people who've been following Royce for a while.
Far from his best though. This feels like the album Em was trying to make with Revival.

Power is a mix of 
Real raw emotion. Probably a top 5 Royce track.
The album is dope. Fits the "book" theme perfectly with the audio book like skits. To early to tell where it fits in his dicography. It's better than layers for sure though. Tons of introspective tracks about his childhood mainly. I always thought his older brother was just a hating ass mf based on his other music (see BME Tack From Me), but now albiet through Royce telling it, you can see his side too.
His singing isn't the best, but when it comes from the heart like on Anything/Everything it works. Not so much on joints like Catepiler.
Royce is having a great run and showing what a complete artist he is. BE4 for straight bars, PRhyme for bars sprinkled with real shyt over Premo beats, and Book of Ryan for 100% content. He's on top of his game
Ps one more thing about this album I like is he's not talking about cheating on his wife any. He's gone into detail on that on his past albums enough. This is fresh while still telling his life story.

Yo get Logic and his constant I'm black schtick the fukk outta here 
i remember a few years ago when Royce would post up random videos of him and his brothers, I believe everything Royce says about Greg, he’s a big dude that looks like he wouldn’t think twice about cutting you lol, he’s definitely not all there.Power is a mix of

Great album. The skits really tie everything in together, the sequencing of the tracks flowed real good. Only two complaints for me were Summer On Smash being out of place although Kiss verse was nice and just can't get into Logic, didn't like Caterpillar (Remix)
"Power" is amazing and a must listen.

Man am I the only one that really likes Amazing? Nice change of pace from the rest of the album.
