the album wasn't bad i know why people aren't feeling it though, imo ab-soul tried to a mainstream approach and it didn't work.

control system has more depth to it than these days...

but me being an ab-soul stan i will still bump this

Oxymoron was way better. Ab soul disappointed me big time

Its aight after some thorough listens, got some wack shyt on here but that dont take away from the overall product. I just wish TDE would take a better approach to marketing their albums.

Oxymoron had to grow on me and this probably will too...right now I'd say 3/5. Ab is my favorite after KDot so I was hoping for more of a Control System/Long Term 3 type of sound but this was a decent major debut.

His major debut is due next year, I'd say this is more so just to give him new music to tour and keep the fans / Ab happy.

With Interscope? I know he's not with a major.

Just listened to the album for the first time and from this initial listen I'm feeling most of the tracks after Twact. Might have to give this the whip test too

I'm honestly surprised most of you aren't feeling this. The only track I don't like is twact, everything else is above average to fire! Ab-Soul should be proud of this

I was expecting Control System 2 or some Longterm vibe, and I think many was doing the same. When that wasn't the case we got disappointed. With that said I also think this album has more downs then ups and many of the beats are not my taste and I dont think they fit Soul.

The people that didnt like Soul before hand will like him of this project anyway. And probably never will. But thats their bad, missing out on some dope music. Soul shows on WROH he can spit.

Just going by what Top said. I think TDE have distribution through Interscope so maybe that's what he means as opposed to a digital / webshop only release.

It dont matter, this is the product he wants to add to his catalog and it its average and a step back from his last joint. I see he was trying to do something different and thats cool but it overall was just ok. Cilvia Demo>>>>>>>
