I think it's really underrated and i prefer it to Below the Heavens. BTH standouts are better but Exile's production went up a notch IMO. Love the Brainfeeder/LA Beatscene influence and Blu has evolved his style a bit closer to his solo work...it's a little more stream of conscious and lofi. Just a really dope album.

First thing I think of is the leak, I played this daily. She Said It's Okay was the jewel, then they dropped Maybe One Day EP months before the official release, with the Black Spade hook... But getting an official release for this a year later was symbolic, with Ease Your Mind finally unearthed.

This album capped off the run that makes me check for Blu til this day. Her Favourite Color, NoYork, Jesus and Flowers >>> ... and they were all leaks too lol.
