Just finished
First things first....its not on GKMC level. Just stop, stans. The polish, cohesiveness, and songwriting on that album make it one of the best rap albums ever.
I didn't latch onto TPAB like some did because it was a chore in spots, so I can't really compare Damn to it.
On its own merits, DAMN is a really good album. It is much more 'basic' sounding than his other work but thats not necessaily a diss. I liked every song on it, even though none of them clearly leaped out at me as a clear standout on first listen.
Even though I listened to it on audiophile headphones, I felt like I was doing it a disservice by not letting it breathe a bit on open speakers. I will give it a few spins in the car this weekend and get a better feel for it.
First listen 8.5/10
