Tom Scott?s self-titled debut album was a great album showing off a much more mellow and slow-paced jazz rap album in the same style as TPAB by Kendrick or ?Care for Me? by Saba. I for a while was interested to see how Tom approached a sophomore album because of how intricate and intense his debut was, well ?TREES? feels even more low-key than the last however that does not work in the favor of Tom. This is because Tom, for all intense and purposes, is a one-dimensional rapper. He made up for that on his debut with intricate jazz orchestration, however, that is mostly gone on ?TREES? leaving you really take in his drab delivery and somewhat corny lyrics. There are still some highlights here, but overall I have a hard time finishing this.
