After 2 years it's finally here. Very funky vibe to it, he continues to evolve and leave the Gambino era behind.

Just listened to the entire album. It's a refreshing piece of art. Me and Your Mama and Stand Tall are my favorites right now but you can just hit play and let this one loop.

I love it. I was hoping he would go back to his Gambino mixtape roots, but I like this route as well. Very different but a good chill album

I liked it after the first listen. Redbone is probably my favorite track, but I also really like Me and Your Mama, The Night Me and Your Mama Met, and Stand Tall.

It's homage to Funkadelic and Parliment


I love it. Fans of shite like Drake will trash it, already are. Oh well. I think anyone that likes creativity will dig it.

Or anyone who enjoyed camp, internet, Kauai, and were expecting anything in the same universe as what they've come to expect from bino.

Those projects were OK. This album has a lot of substance. I can understand maybe not being into this style, but people calling it trash are those likely stuck in a bubble of top 40 hit music. Do you want a guy to do the same shite over and over and over? You want a one trick pony, Aubrey Graham can be found on iTunes and spotify. I respect him making what he wants to make. He basically did what Kid Cudi tried to do, but succeeded.

I enjoyed it after listening it to it once, which doesn't always happen after one listen, even with albums I end up liking later. It was refreshing to listen to a new album and not hear that same thing from the past few years.

I've only previewed it. Does he rap in it at all?

Royalty was his turning point. Everything from then on has been great IMO. I'm liking the sound of this new album. Need to give it a couple more listens.

Is it weird that this album reminds me of The Flaming Lips' Yoshimi?

I remember that being the last album I listened to while laying down and staring at the ceiling. Lol

I haven't had the chance to listen to the whole album yet. Just a few songs in, but that same thought crossed my mind.

I'm digging the psychodelic funk vibe. It's really well produced, but may be overproduced to the point that it lacks edge and crunch. However, that's nit-picking. This is a really solid album.

It'll take some time before it grows on me, but I like it so far. Kind of a weird vibe to it like a mash of some funky Rick James type of sound.

I love the dangelo crossed with fela crossed with funkadelic vibe of the album.

Same here. Third listen of the day and I'm digging almost all of it.
