Overall, from the perspective of how well crafted this album is, there is nothing wrong with it. CJ Fly's penmanship and delivery are both on point and Statik Selektah provides a great production background. BUT, and it probably isn't a big 'but' on paper, there are plenty of tiny nuisances that sort of break the album just a little. CJ Fly tends to go in his delivery to places that take some patience to get used to (it's very apparent on songs like "Barrell" or "Block Party") and Statik Selektah always puts his prod tag before every song, which I know is for when the songs get pulled apart for singles and played separate from the album, so that his name and cred is always intact, but when hearing it over and over again on every song, it becomes annoying at the very least. But when these two come together in their strongest sides and deliver, the results are supreme (hear "Goin Thru", "Show You" or "LV Ascot").
