adam, it owns the bonus tracks for sure. but the real content is easily toe-to-toe with any of the best tracks here.



i guess my main complaint is that there's too much traditional soul and too many ballads.

the pacing of this album is what makes it better then the EP



sure the EP is packed full of great songs, but this album takes you places, when you think of how the mood (and her voice) change so much between the opening three songs and the closing three songs, but it's done in a way that there is never a point where you think "woah it just slowed down a lot"



the fact she pulls that off on an 18 song album, makes it all the better

to paraphrase cmg: though this might not be my favorite album this year, it's certainly the best

^ That is very true about me as well. Though it's not my fave, it's overall the best, the most daring and perhaps the most important.

Why don't people like Make the Bus?! It's what I remember most after one listen, and I loved it.

I tried getting into Erykah Badu a while back but couldn't. Really loving this though.

Badu's first New Amerykah is her best work if you haven't heard that.



This is growing on me a bit more. I've just been waiting so long for this, I expected it to immediately blow me away.

I like Make the Bus a lot... But I'm not a huge fan of Cold War. There are songs on here that easily pound it to shit.

Come Alive is the catchiest song fucking ever.

Come Alive always reminds me of Florence and the Machine, specifically "Girl With One Eye" in the way that both the vocalists absolutely explode. Maybe someone else sees the connection?
