Atrocity Exhibition >

I could agree but their two different albums tbh. Atrocity Exhbition was dark and experimental. This one here was electronic and experimental.

Top 3 album of 2017. It reminds me a lot of Yeezus sonically. I love it.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Might be #1 on my list

I disagree. AE is a good album and was high on my list last year but it's also one of the most dreary, less listenable good albums I've heard. It's not an album I'm interested in revisiting soon.

Big Fish Theory has more interesting production and Vince outs on a flow clinic. I like the tone of the album, the mixture of up tempo shyt with the darker tracks too.

Can't argue with that.
I just love dark ass music.

Hated it at first, but its in my end of year top 10

And for strictly Hip Hop, I have it #2 I think

I actually liked Summertime 06 better and I thought this was him going pop a little bit but I still have him as a top 3 rapper in the under 25 age group and chalk this up as more of a matter of personal taste than an indictment of the quality of the album as a whole because it's still a very good album.

This album is still amazing a year later. I was just listening on vinyl yesterday... whew! The production is otherworldly.

 

[DonKnock]

Pretty mixed about this one and I am one who doesn't mind more experimental stuff.

 

[Rozay Oro]

This is an unexpected combo but well executed

 

[Rozay Oro]

This is really good

The Big Fish track is so dope. I put Vince catalog on shuffle and it came on and had to run it back a few times. This album has some records, didn't like it much when it first dropped
