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.

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.

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

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
