| I have only a couple problems with this album. The first problem is that a lot of the guitar riffs sound grounded which hurts the atmosphere of the songs. The second problem is that the transition between some riffs are sloppy and there are split seconds where it is obvious the guitarist is having trouble switching between chords. Aside from those two little issues the album is still gorgeous! The drumming has improved drastically, the atmosphere is still deep and riddled with sorrowful darkness, and there isn't a single uninteresting riff or moment throughout the entire album! |

Bruh that one track with Mos Def under his new moniker Yasiin Bey and Black Thought from the Roots
is all money baby. Freddie lays down some dope rhymes and fat rhythms that borrow much of his new
production preferences he has been experimenting with in his solo stuff. This album is [insert
fire emoji] man ya cannot stop this duo from razing their contemporaries even with all the
firefighting assets in the world. |

| I have been looking forward to the release of this album for a while. It kept getting stalled and finally this year it was made available. It's essentially the same as Cymatics with better mid-range vocals and so I am pretty satisfied. My only problem with the album is that I was hoping they would mix it better than Cymatics. It's as though they wanted to remain perfectly consistent for this new album. Oh well, it rules anyways. |
