    Only people who have an IQ high enough to understand it

    Every J. Cole album minus 2014 FHD is a snoozefest, and even that hasnt aged well

    When it comes to revival, somehow everyone keeps pretending it's not great.

    Made it thru once I think lol

    it's cuz we had the album early and part of that was it letting that get to our heads + hyping up everyone else here. But also the first time you listen to it it feels like there's so much to unpack it's overwhelming. Regardless of what you think of the album, it's very ambitious and there's A LOT going on. The problem is that upon repeat listens you start to realize that a lot of the concepts just don't really make complete sense. That and it's way too long and not all the songs are really necessary to fit the concept.

    I remember rushing to write my review for the sxn80 blog and I felt bad because koolo had already DMed punch on twitter about how we loved the album and were gonna give it a great review but my opinion of the album had started to change a bit...like I still liked it but felt like I wanted to bump it down to the 8-8.5 range range instead of the 9.5 range and we were all arguing about what to give it and I think we settled on a 9.1 or something. Oh well. That was like the third review I ever wrote lol. And punch tweeted it out so that was cool. S'all a learning experience.

    Still, I think there's a solid number of songs that work individually on the album, but as a whole it's pretty messy.
