    As a diehard Budden fan, he was decent on this.

    Earlier in the year when talking about this album he kept talking about "The Mission is great" and cant stop the mission etc... wtf was the mission now that the music is out? I thought maybe he was gonna be angry and attack the rap game

    The album is very commercial and dumbed down to me, but i realize he was trying a new style and sound, its not bad but def not great

    Agreed but i am happy with this album honestly, it was a good flashback to what Budden use to sound liek compared to the mood muzik budden which is still an overall great series.

    It's grown on me, but I don't really like this. Three is great. I expected an album similar to this, but it's less aggressive and more commercial than I'd like.

    So this album has a very commercial sound? Having known this I definitely pull back from listening to the album.

    I prefer joe rapping on dark beats. Don't have much time to waste it on some Some Love Lost level album.

    Well, on one hand, I can't wait for him to retire so he'll make/release Mood Muzik 5. He's been saying that it will be his last project ever.
    On the other hand, on all of his projects there are a few songs that are like REALLY REALLY good so I don't want him to stop.
    But yeah, that's been the case with RATM too. By Law, Three, I Gotta Ask are standout tracks from this album, while the others have been kinda underwhelming. Either way, this album keeps growing on me with every listen.

    I listened to the album yesterday and I'm sorry but I will not be going back to this album in the near future.

    The production is bland, the lyrics are mostly uninspiring that's why I don't want to ruin my perception of him anymore.
