I didn't even like Preachers Daughter. I was just minding my own business and here she goes making the album (EP?) of
the year. As a work of poetry alone, this is a masterpiece. |

| Yes, the vocals didn't work for me at first, but I learned to love the record anyway. This album is a masterpiece. The bass backdrop on "Sweet Talk", the string cadenza at the end of "Emperor with an Egg", the psychedelic poetry of "Magic Act" are just 3 of the reasons I fell in love with this record. Do yourself a favor and listen to this with the lyrics open, if you haven't already. |

| Spellling Portrait of My Heart |
I was not expecting this album to remind me of Prequelle-era Ghost of all things, but here we are! The album just gets
more and more intense as it goes on, and while I miss The Turning Wheel's perfectly balanced production, Portrait's
muddier mix brings its own rewards.
Also, bold move ending the album with THAT song... I'm not sure if I like it though. Time will tell.
Edit: "Sometimes" is perfect, I'm bugging. |

| J. Cole The Fall-Off |
There are great songs throughout, but while the hard-hitting songs bump for me (Two Six & WHO TF IZ U are early
highlights), two problems hold the project back: most of these songs could be 30 seconds to a minute shorter, and the
features are not used to their full potential. Disc 39 in particular draaaaaags. And I dont care what anyone says, Tems
was the only good feature on this whole thing. Shes fighting to be heard over that beat, but that lady can sing like no
one else (certainly not Cole). This was my first time listening to a J. Cole album all the way through, and if this is what
Ive been missing, then I dont think I missed much. |
