Where's the grime? ): I preferred the atmosphere the precedent album had, as this one basically strips all the grime and focuses on the soulful bits. Because when the dude spits cold bars, this is lit stuff to flex to. Maybe a whole album made of bangers would have been tiring? Maybe, yet I can't help but feel he's not displayed everything he's capable of, sound-wise. However, the lyrics I focused on were interesting, painting the dark side of fame a la Stormzy sauce (nothing new under the sun, but it's clearly not a dumb and debilitating album, so props for that). Also, kudos for making Vossi Bop a #1 single, it's one uncommercial of a track. Although this album is full of good intentions and ideas, none of them manage to strike me, leaving a bittersweet taste. Maybe next time mate. Also hey he looks like Lukaku

Stormzy has little to offer outside of his penchant for hard flexing anthems, the moments of sentimentality here are too ham-fisted and the production is way too clean.

I still think that the overall criticism had been quite hard with Stomrzy's first album because he had the charisma, he was at the top, and he made a solid album with an interesting subject. On the other hand, I was rather disappointed with this new album. I am well aware that we can often make a link or metaphor between rap and boxing, with the ego trip blablabla, "I have a bigger dick than you" blablabla, you need a little self-confidence, but the first part of the album is very pretentious. For me, many young rappers (Dave, J Hus) are better than him now and many veterans are still better than him. The intro sums up Stormzy's state of mind very well, apart from interesting flows it's the best you'll find on this album. The second part is a little better but I didn't enjoy listening to this album, the best bombs are Wiley Flow and Vossi Bop here
