Wow I can't believe ppl are saying California is trash. That song kinda went the hardest at the concert. I haven't listened yet but if he messed it up that would be real wack. About to listen now

Edit : also Riot sounded the worst live. That would be crazy if it's the opposite
He flipped a lot of the Pharos live tracks

I'm starting to think what we heard in September was a halfway done album cause there's quite a few changes in the cdq release

I feel like (maybe I just haven't been exposed to these sounds) but I haven't heard these types of sounds used. It was a weird listen but I LOVED everything except riot.
I like what he did with California. He speed up zombies(he should've kept it slower even tho it's still fire)and he slowed down terrified (terrified is crazy good. Took a reprise of have some love off the end of the album and changed stand tall all together. I like the changes he did.
I think the way the pitch or whatever he's using to change the sounds of the music is nice.

By sounds u mean the particular style of funk he came out with? A lot of his stuff sounds like george clinton and bootsy collins brain children

Yeah album definitely had a ton of tweaks from Pharos to release date.. me and your mama is better than live especially cause he wasn't hitting half his notes live

Nah I mean the instruments he used for the beats don't really sound like anything I've heard on anything else. Especially not in today's music. My dad has a ton of that funk stuff on vinyl at the crib. If this is an off shoot of that I definitely wanna hear all that.
