    I'm gonna listen to it more, but after my first listen I don't want to say disappointed but I am not really feeling this as much as some of his other stuff. A snippet that's like 20 seconds shouldn't be one of the best tracks, but Tech was killing that and I know JL will too. Really liked the Mursday reunion, Really would have liked Tech on that Lynch, Murs, and Godemis track, too. I like Mackenzie, she has been on some of Techs best songs. But Darrein is intolerable. I know he's Stevie's guy, so I'm worried he'll ruIn his upcoming CD, too. He wasted a good verse by him on Bodyrock, and Boo Thing was the worst

    Wait saffron is Stevie's guy? That sounds horrible! I f---ing love Stevie on hooks, he has a very distinct and unique voice and actually seems to be getting better with time. Just look at the recent song "need Jesus" Stevie murders that hook! He should just keep doing his own s---.

    Also want to mention EAT 2 was f---ing awesome. Better than 99% of dominion

    I like only one song - Angels in the playground. Not really feeling other tracks. They are either ok, either horrible. So many medicore instrumentals, especially those "old school" beats. There were a few ok songs, but there was no Tech on them. :emoji_slight_frown: He chose to participate on the worst tracks of the album. By the first impression this is the worst album Strange releasead. I can't even call it Tech's album. It's more of label compilation. They souldn't have promoted it as Tech's album, even collabo type. Wish they didn't divide it in two parts and released just one with best tracks. Gates Mixed Plate and Strangeulation vol.2 were way better. I wonder who made the beats. If that's Seven again they really should let him chill. Dude is running out of ideas and ruining both his and Tech's legacy.

    I do want to make the point that a lot of people are saying Tech shouldn't be forcing Darrein and Mackenzie on all these tracks, but we do have to remember that Strange Music's marketing is pretty poor, and this new direction Tech is going with his music is a step up in marketing for his label mates. Tech is the biggest rapper on the label, and he's basically giving them a ton of exposure on what are basically his albums.

    So, whether or not their contributions to the song is good or bad, Strange Music is changing things up. It's a step in the right direction, marketing wise.

    Much like the last collabo album, I can't make it through. Safron and Mackenzie are terrible.

    Album names like "The Storm" and "Dominion" are such cool names for albums but they both turned out to be average. but muah and shoe game... they both belong on gate mixed plates.

    The last classic song Tech has made was Fragile and he was always good for at least one classic per album.....

    Angela in the playground and Love (a f---ing bonus track) are the only ones worth saving the space on your phone lol.

    I mean I was the biggest Tech fan there was. But now, it's almost embarrassing to listen or tell people I listen to this s---.....

    Nothing to talk about and the beats are lazy. Why even bother....

    Hahaha this is so true. I'm always so hesitant mentioning to people I like Tech now. His music is actually embarrasssing.

    Lmao knew this was gon come :blunt: Yeah man i aint been this unimpressed or even not vibing to a Tech drop since OGMP which grew on me but was absolutely my most meh response. Definitely gonna hit a r-----ed dab and listen while i game tn see what i like and make a playlist but oof this is a big time fumble on one listen


    Edit:

    Just hit my dab listening to Angels and will say this, at least its an album I got.....kendrick cough :blunt:


    Edit 2:

    I am f---ing high as s---. Im at Thats Some Good, and i dont know if yall dig it but a) I f---ing love JL, im really excited for his album actually. b) that is a wonderful smoking track. So far thats the only standout in anyway this playthrough. Question about Reload, is that Saffron on the first verse? Take the auto tune off that kids rapping that verse woulda been so much better!

    This album f---ing sucks.

    For the love of god, let Seven f--- off for a few years and get some fresh blood in the production. But its not even that, the verses aren't memorable at all and most of the hooks are complete s---.
