Don't really mind the unconventional album titles (as much as the tracklist on 22M is just obnoxious to look at). There's not much behind them though . . . Such a frustrating album. I really like Naeem's instrumentation, for instance, and it has some powerful moments, but what is that freaking bland chorus supposed to be? ("I can hear, I can hear ...") Album lacks flow and personality alike. Still like it more than 22M, but it's kinda hard to find things that I don't like more than that one so there's that

Mona Lisa is overrated anyways. The painting featured ACROSS from it, however...

A gargantuan called "The Wedding at Cana" by Paolo Veronese. I did the math once, and if I recall correctly, you could fit around 60 or so "Mona Lisa" paintings into the entire expanse of "Wedding." It sports a beautiful, renaissance aesthetic reminiscent of the time period it came from.

iMi, Naeem, and Faith are pretty awesome. Justin's vocal performance on those particular tracks is breathtaking. Triumphant like.



This is better than 22, A Million in my opinion, but some of these songs sound like absolute clusterfucks. I can't stand how "glitchy" Jelmore is.

I seriously love this album at the moment. I find it interesting that a lot of people seem to find it incongruous. I think its as well flowing as Bon Iver, Bon Iver, and I think the album sits exceptionally well as a consolidated musical statement.



To me, this album feels more mature than 22M. I think it was intended to aswell. Just a minor observation.

Sh'Diah might honestly be the best track here and would've been a much better closer as well.

If you take RABi out I think the album is fractionally better at least

Marion is great yea. iMi is pretty good, but this doesn't really get excellent until Hey, Ma starts. 22A is slightly better.

Yeah, it's not working. I just want to slap him silly.



^ Agreed. Tired of this unfocused, hookless avant garde crap he keeps putting out when he is capable of writing some of the best songs of all time.
