May 15, 2022 Fair enough, I personally think there's a lot to offer lyrically as always but I get why people aren't a fan of it, especially the sound of it.
May 15, 2022 Revival has Believe, Castle and Arose on it, hasn't it?. I couldn't find anything I like as much as I like those on Kendrick's album.
May 15, 2022 Would be funny if Em thinks it ridiculous as in actually RIDICULOUS and not ridiculously good.
May 15, 2022 I like most of the album so me trying to give a rebuttal would just be talking in circles. Genuinely interesting to see the discourse and division around the project though.
May 15, 2022 Haha imagine. He’s just trashing it to everyone around him. Family, friends, butlers, etc
May 15, 2022 Amazing songs. Add Walk on Water to that too. But there’s so much s--- throughout that the body of work as a whole is indefensible Kendrick’s album is many, many levels above Revival in terms of artistry, lyricism, sonically etc. Shouldn’t even be a debate.
May 15, 2022 Experimenting would do him good, rather than sticking to the current formula. Gotta keep things fresh. Just a shame if he takes influence from this Kendrick album instead of GKMC, TPAB & d--- lol. Em needs new concepts & fresh inspiration imo
May 15, 2022 Strongly disagree. Slow album. Very unorthodox (and not in a good way, like old Kendrick was). Feels more like spoken poetry than rap music to me. I hated it.
May 15, 2022 Fair enough. Oh god are people saying ‘old Kendrick now?’ ouch Still s----s on Revival though, no argument for that
May 15, 2022 I like it too but if I were to listen to the entire album I would probably skip to the second half of that song but it's pretty chill and I don't mind listening to it when I'm not revisiting the album
May 15, 2022 United In Grief, N95, Count Me Out, Crown, Silent Hill, Savior, Mirror, are all the nice/decent and some mid to good songs that I found Father Time, Rich Spirt, Mr. Morale are amazing Auntie Diaries and Mother I Sober aren't sonically amazing but great songs
May 15, 2022 I hate this new era of ‘if it’s not for a playlist it’s not worth listening to’. So much depth to the concepts & narratives & it just gets disregarded instantly. Abstract albums are just not appreciated anymore by a lot of people & it’s sad to see this level of disdain coming from a music forum. Comparing this album to Revival is a level of insanity i didn’t even expect from the biggest of Em fans.
May 15, 2022 I think this Kendrick album is great. But I can see where some of the critics are coming from. To each his own I guess. Def not a project made to please his listeners. Kinda strange tweet by Em tho, probably nothing but some speculation is always welcome.
