what, thats it?  

youre not gonna write two graphs about each track, including stars or letter grades or whatever for the ‘skimmer’-style readers? 

no overly detailed descriptions of the mixing or production, no knee-jerk interpretations about the ‘flow’ of the album?  

  

nice.    

Yea, that’s it.  Did you spin it yet?  It’s very good.  The only low point is the track featuring the INF Gang, and it wasn’t that bad.  It also has absolutely no MNE (that includes Jamie) on it aside from G-mo which in uncommon for MNE releases.

you were the kid that wrote one or two sentence answers to essay questions in school, i bets.  

That’s all it takes if you’re accurate.  You can write 10 pages, and the teacher will skim through that to find the 1 or 2 relevant sentences and grade you based on that.  Guaranteed.  Been there, done that.

That Sid Jones guy made like a 20 minute review of it on youtube.  I got bored when I got 5 minutes in and was still talking about the booklet and didn’t get into the music yet. Yawn.

If it helps you at all, he does clean vocals on a decent number of verses.  No Jigsaw puppet voice.  And all skits are at the end of tracks so that you can just hit “next” if you don’t want to hear it.  That’s good if you listen to things on shuffle because they don’t get in the way like they do when they’re individual tracks. AND, they don’t do the classic MNE formula of putting the 30 second instrumental for the tracks on the end of the previous track, so you get to listen to the entire track if you select it from your list.  What a fuckin concept!

Man…..I tried.  Like really tried, the other day.

Opened up my Amazon music, just happened to see it on the hip hop new release section and was like “lettts do this!”  I promise, 43 seconds into the first track and just had to cut it off.  Its his voice, I cannot listen to that voice he has….

He’s got clever rhymes n shit.  That human skin coat video/song was pretty cool, awesome beat!  but man, for whatever reason, I just cannot get into this dude…..at all…  

Yea, the voice can get pretty grating.  It would be cool if he didn’t do that raspy voice all the time on his current music, because he sounds pretty good doing clean vocals.  I can live with it, though.  Here’s one from 2011 where he doesn’t use it at all:
