    Has there ever been a more complex and introspective album ever released? This will be studied for 50+ years just to digest and understand it.

    Aight. Listenin' now.

    First track gave my some prime Kanye vibes sonically. I loved the production. Not sure about the replay value but he has that authenticity, that content that interests me. I'm loving it.
    Similar things can be said about the next 2 songs of the album. The content is there. I love how he critisizes the post modern world problems like political correctness etc. I liked the authentic, different deliveries, flows, beats but not sure some of them have the replay value.
    Die Hard is the s---. I'd vibe to that s---, dance to that s---. That would have a lot of replay value.
    Father Time had that content that would make me listen to it again and again but that's just real and interesting s--- he talks about there.
    Rich Spirit was great too.
    We Cry Together is awesome. I could have done without the f--- you hooks but the third verse was really something, the woman kinda stole it tho.

    I'll listen to the second half later. But for now, it sounds pretty good. Obviously, it doesn't have the replay value d--- had for me. But it's still seems there with any great Kenny album to me.

    EDIT: Second half started of good with Count Me Out. Crown was a bit slow paced. Silent Hill sounded like it's Kodak song or something, filler track. Savior was good. Mr. Morale had that great beat. Mother I'm Sober was amazing, easily a classic and probably the highest point of the album. Auntie Diaries is the best song I've heard in the long time. The way beat build up alongside with his lyrics was amazing. That one is easily one of the best songs of the last decade. Those 2 songs are more than enough for me to easily call this a great album.

    I was really expecting more 60/70s soul vibes picking up where the heart part 5 left off.Maybe because i had other expectations i don't really feel It.

    I think what makes this worse is the fact that there's no terrible or great songs. It's not even polarising to the point where it's divisive. It was just very meh the whole way through for me

    I liked Worldwide Steppers though, but one track off an album with this many tracks ain't good but I've only listened to it once.

    Really? You either don't listen or some you guys have many dead braincells from ice on my chain, look how great I mumble about how much money I have and b------s I f--- bs. This album has more than few very very artistic music and him rapping about some real stuff of our days on them. You seriously think that after listenin to songs like Auntie Diaries, Mother I Sober or maybe We Cry Together ? There are barely a filler track or 2 on this one. I can see how it doesn't sounds mainstream and many wouldn't have earsfor this one but saying he doesn't know what to rap about is ridiculous.
