If I had to describe the difference between 'Wuddaji' and 'American Intelligence' in the way both records made me "feel", I'd say that the latter in two hours had enough material that breezes by pleasantly or hooks you and infects your mind with its twists and turns. Some songs did overstay their welcome, but their overall aftertaste was pleasant and left you wanting to relisten. 'Wuddaji', on the other hand, feels tense. Not tense meaning exciting and filled with adrenaline, but tense as a mess, uncomfortable and long. Long, even though it is a whole hour shorter than its predecessor. Theo's choice for more abstract, quirkier production leaves a lot to be desired. Many songs go on forever until your comprehension turns them into pure noise for the ears. You might need a break after every other song to relax and breathe out.
