Album Rating: 4.5
I feel bad for all the mediocre reviews this album is getting from his original fans. A shift in sound is welcome when it's done right. This album is phenomenal. Also sorry if the review is a little short. I had trouble with finding anything I really didn't like about this record.

I'm liking this a bit more than B4, I dig the poppier sound a lot.

Rockabye absolutely slays, although I think it feels kind of out of place on this overall very poppy and upbeat album. Production is gorgeous throughout and the new direction suits him very well. (which I honestly wouldn't have thought beforehand, especially since I'm generally not at all into trappy stuff)

Wow that p4k review... jesus. Reads like my professor grading my political thesis. I get that this is a pretty political album but can we talk about ANYTHING else than the fact that we're feeling kinda lukewarm on the lyrics.... no? oh okay, i guess you kinda mentioned that it's a bit more commerical, we're fine then.

Yeah, that Pitchfork review criticises the album for not being didactic enough. I mean, given the album's themes are a large part of the record, touching on the fact that the album's not as informative as the writer would like is fair, but since when is that a valuable critique of the music itself? What requisite holds an album to being informative?

Sure, it's more than fair to talk about the lyrics of any (especially hip-hop) album in the review and since Joey definitely intents people to take his lyrics seriously it's even reasonable to make it a central focus of the review, but still the review just felt like they were scolding him for not being political enough, not pushing a narrative more or something. I dunno, just baffled me that it didn't really talk about the features or the production etc.

"the review just felt like they were scolding him for not being political enough"
For sure, 100% agree, man. Glad to see the album seems to be doing well, though, regardless. Also, yeah, Rockabye Baby is insane, love that song.

i cant blame joey for releasing this at all and i think its got a few great cuts but the whole thing is such a forced attempt to breakout to a new audience. and some of the hooks are atrocious, even though i enjoy a handful of them. ring the alarm and for my people are ace

It can get a bit too w0ke for me at points but I just love the overall vibe of the album, and how it sounds old school but not in a this-came-out-twenty-years-late type of way.

Also I feel like he says something along the lines of "They're telling lies to us" multiple times on every track.

Really digging the pop vibes on the first half tbh. Devasted is a bit bland, but all the other songs are great.
