    Glad I'm not the only one. This is actually terrible. I agree though that Special Effects was a glimmer of hope so this is a step in the wrong direction. I actually don't "like" a single song on this album and it is by far the worst STRANGE album ever produced. Like wtf?

    OK im arguably the biggest tech fan on this site and even I hate this album. It's by far his worse album to date. Horrible production, lazy hooks. Sounds like a mixtape. Muah might actually be the worse song he's ever done. It actually made my ears bleed. Darrein sounded like he was imitating Chris Brown and Drake way too much for me to enjoy him. No authenticity. So disappointed with this coming out of Special Effects which is arguably a top 3 Tech album. How the f--- did Seven go from producing that to producing this piece of s---?

    I thought Praise KOD and Slow To Me are dope. Mackenzie O'Guin was actually the stand out for me on this album, her song is dope as f---. Really talented young girl. She has yet to make a bad song with Tech. Stevie Stone for sure stood out on the Cypher so I'll give him props for that. Other than that I cant really praise anything

    Overall this album is a boring piece of s---. I don't enjoy the first one all that much either but it s----s all over this.

    "Muah" is the best song on the album in opinion of DJ Booth :D

    Ok I listened again, and its not as bad as I said. Its not a complete piece of s---, but its not good either. Its better than Gates, but thats not saying much at all because thats a real turd.

    I like all of the Cyphers, Praise KOD, PBSA, Fired, Real with Yourself, Actin' Like You Know, and Strange Outro. 11 out of 21 songs. 7 if you count the Cyphers as one.

    A solid 5/10 project if I've ever heard one. Muah is one of the worst songs in existence, from any artist. Darrein impressed me a decent amount here, his solo song was a standout (of course Tech is also on it tho). I'll keep my eye on him.

    But yeah... I just wish Tech would take some time on his next project. This is the epitome of rushed. And for what? Was anyone really clamoring for a new Collabos album already when we got one last year, and Special Effects only SIX months ago? Tech, chill out bruh.

    If you think Strangeulation vol. 2 is really that bad then go listen to Krayzie Bone's new album. He waited 10 years to release such disappointment. Tech with his productivity could make us forget about this medicore compilation with another album that is coming next year. Krayzie Bone's fans (one of whom I used to be) probably gonna wait 10 more years for another disappointment. What a shame. Unfortunately.

    PS: Still a fan of old Krayzie Bone's and Bone Thugs albums. Bone 4 Life! :emoji_wink:

    Exactly. Not a fan of Darrein at all. Dont like Real With Yourself and I hate his hooks on Fired & We Just Wanna Party. Just sounds fake and forced and they're just terrible. Hate how Strange is pushing him on us lol. Like you said, no authenticity at all, sounds like he's just trying to be Strange's The Weeknd. But he sucks IMO. Like nails on a chalkboard sucks to me.

    Lol I thought it was alright. I don't like the sample on it,it sounds super sloppy. If the production was better then I probably would like it more

    There isn't a single redeeming thing on this album. Saffron blows, production blows, verses blow, hooks blow, you name it boys.

    Or just listening to Strangeulation Vol.1 and then listening to this.
    But yeah, Welcome to Strangeland is fantastic. 2011 with All 6's & 7's & that was awesome.

    I'm listening to this right now and it sounds like really lazy writing. Not very good.

    I agree with the most part but the only thing I think about is Strangleand was released about the same time after 6/7 as this and that is by far the best collabos album to date and even better than a few of his solos.....so I can't hate on him for it. I feel like the beats are subpar and tech was lazy with the creativity in this one. It's like I don't have anything left to rap about so we will start making songs about dumb s--- we joke about on the tour bus like anyone gives a f---.

    And for the record, I thought the first Steageulation s----d ducking balls too except for Fear and Stink and maybe 1 or 2 other tracks.

    I will also pass on recycled beats with new verses. I feel like we were robbed of 7 news songs. I will also pass on 7 songs on the same beat. They should just make one song with 8 bars each for everyone like that track on Cognito's album

    Oh and for the record the best song is Mackenzie's without a doubt. I also like Stone's cypher verse and techs as well. After that I'll never listen again.
