| While this project consists of tracks that were penned around the TPAB studio sessions, they are arranged in a way that flow smoothly giving this collection of songs their own identity. Since these are demos, some of the tracks have unfinished qualities and the instrumentals are kinda barebones compared to the denseness of TPAB, but Kendrick delivers with a variety of flows and dense wordplay, a lot of which I've yet to decipher. Untitled 3,6, and 8 are solid while 1,2, 5 and 7 are excellent. |

| Definitely the strongest post-Trilogy release by him yet. Abel retains his newfound pop-sensibility from BBTM, as well as elements from his more ethereal work. Well executed transitions between many of the tracks make for one his most cohesive albums as well. One of the albums downfalls is its length, which kills the momentum in the last half. Standout tracks to me were Party Monster, True Colors, Sidewalks, and Reminded. |
