yall accept anything, this album is pretty bad. dudes just yelling on the tracks at this point, zero effort. their hooks have gotten super lazy, they've always had some repetitive hooks sprinkled thru projects but damn, that's 80% of the songs here. verses were weak as well as a lot of the production.

Way too early to give any rating. You’re either a hater or Stan if you’re going around calling it :trash: or amazing. shyt has 24 songs, nobody has listened to this enough to give it a proper rating.
you don't have to listen to stuff multiple times to know if you like it. most albums you either find yourself skipping songs halfway in, immediately in love with some tracks/putting them on replay, and there there's stuff that's just cool. most people judge albums by their skip to "immediate love" ratio. culture had way more songs that got me off jump than this, i skipped A LOT of songs on this album. culture had me replaying a lot of songs

I still cannot tell them apart on tracks.

Will listen to this over the weekend.

Culture was a much better album than this. Far more variety on the production and a much tighter album.

24 track album is overkill. Seems like they're just throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks.

I think it's partially the game now that streams are the in thing. Artists are incentivized on having a few hits that get played over and over again.

If 1,500 streams is equal to 1 traditional album sale then you're better off putting out a bunch of music and hoping something sticks.

If Migos can get 3 or 4 "Bad and Boujees" or "Slipperys" hits then they're in business.

At this point hip hop is just a numbers game.

It's impossible to not tell apart Quavo dude was born with some autotune effect in his voice. Takeoff has the deepest voice between him and Offset, thinking about that it's pretty easy. But Offset really switches his delivery on tracks, which makes it harder between him and Takeoff.

Is it far fetched to say that they were following Drake blueprint on More Life and actually this is more of a playlist

Great comparison. I'm still a little fuzzy on this whole "playlist" thing. How exactly is a playlist different from an album?

I guess you could say this is a playlist but even still, I think they put out too much content that's hard to distinguish from each other
