Holy shyt. That first song is

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's already performed this album in concert?

First three songs. It's a classic. SAY NO MORE.

Yea he did a lot of changes to it.

Spoiler: The changes

Zombies is slowed doin and the live guitar solo at the end sounds way better and is slightly longer and isn't as electric sounding, terrified is very very slighty sped up. He took the rap off the end of boogieman (the beat change wasn't as "airy"(if that's a word) sounding as it is now) and it was a bit more rnb sounding instead of funk. His voice wasn't muffled on California and the beat didn't sound as rain forestry as it sounds now. He sang on the night Me and your momma met and added the beat change at the end of stand tall.

I really like both versions. I hope he releases the live version.

Second listen of the album.

Trying with all of the strength not to skip california. It is so out of place but it could have been better. I will replace it with the live version when he performs it.

The crazy thing is the way the dome had us feeling like we were going through space. When we got the the planet or area for California it was very very perfect. It was like a blue based rainforest that we were gliding through. The crowd went the craziest for California also. It's a shame he messed that song up.

Someone start a change.org petition to have California removed from the album so I can listen all the way thru.

He needs to take that thing off his voice. The song is a standout song without the voice thing. I'd rather they start a petition to take the voice thing off

Nice ukulele on "The night me and your mother met"

I love this direction. he's still a dope MC too, so I hope some characters jump stupid.

"Stand Tall" is a sonic message to the Melanoid Family. best song on album to me. i could listen 30 times over with no issue.

I like all of his projects tho so i guess a coli cat can come and label me now.
