just went on a PM sending spree :merchant:

... Had 24 hours to soak the album in. It's actually pretty dope imo. I made my own track listing to really get the vibe i wanted Moved "Kiss Land" to #4 Followed by "Tears In The Rain"<--- the intro bass on that joint:whoo:.

wander...luuuuuuuuuust

what is the sample saying before the hook comes in? I can make out something like "let's get together"...that shyt is so fukking dope. I swear Abel has some of the BEST production on the planet, his songs are crafted meticulously and sonically it's just :banderas:. The beat for Wanderlust is amazing, that snare!!!! This song is gonna be a problem at parties.

*two steps*

MJ is smiling like a proud dad watching his only son that made it

I read that he was inspired by great horror movie soundtracks.... that's dope and all. But does it make for enjoyable music? I like The Professional - the production is deep and immersive. But is it a good song that I plan to bump? No. And that's kinda how I feel about most of the album. I'll enjoy it for now but I doubt there's much material here to keep bringing me back.

The bonus Pharrell/Kavinsky produced joints manage to include some rhythm and they're really dope.

Yea I just can't get into this album. The first four songs are solid but not replayable. Songs like live for, wanderlust, pretty, odd look are garbage. My main issue is his singing. It seems like he is gassed as fukk off the D D cover so now almost every song sounds like a cheesy MJ karaoke. Except he lacks masculinity in his voice so tracks like the town and tears sounds extra moist and embarrassing to listen. Sad because I was a fan when he was dropping tracks on youtue.
