Actually think the album is good strictly from a sonic perspective. Just not want the audience want from Snoop or Dre.
Way too pop, and that problem get compounded by most of the hooks ranging from ass to forgettable. If you gonna go pop you got to have great hooks.
And if you gonna make this album and go a direction the audience not expecting, you really got to kill it. If it was equally mid but it was a 2001 rehash in content and approach, the reception would be better.
