Aight breh, just listened to the whole thing. 1st I gotta say that you came a long way from the 1st couple of beats you posted up in the tunnel. You had some real nice gems in here. Here's a quick lil run down of what I thought.

Acedia was straight, nice piano usage

Envy was nice. Dope melody and tempo.

Greed was fukking sick. nice usage of the sample.

Gluttony was fukking sick, i just really love the melody to this. nice vibe as well

Pride was aight, didn't really feel it like that

Lust- was aight, didn't really like the Yes yes vocal part tho

Sloth was nice, simple laid back shyt. cool

Vainglory was nice

Wrath was aight

Capital Vices was dope as fukk. Good way to end things. Loved the melody and instruments that were used. Had that whole holy/spiritual vibe to it.

Overall, shyt was dope. Greed, Gluttony, and Capital Vices were the best ones to me. Those beats were nice as fukk.

Keep doing ya thing. :salute:

thanks for the thorough write up, and yeah a couple of these I really only worked briefly on to fit the theme (sloth, greed) while others I really tinkered with (lust, gluttony) and it kind of shows. Will def go back and update a few of these but really just wanted to get something out there to show this isn't a waste lol. I feel I'm on a good track in general though and will really figure this shyt out in a few months or so.

First of all…I am a huge fan of concept albums. So I was feeling it from the jump. I love albums where all the tracks have a shared theme. I try to do that myself. The artwork and the track names told a story without even hearing any tracks. But once I did listen :whew:
Acedia - Dope Piano...loved the switch up at the end and the scattered drums.
Envy – Epic, Big sound. Very cool sample and I really liked the variety in the drums.
Greed – DOPE…almost better than the Kanye version.
Gluttony – I loved the strings. Smooth and laid back track.
Pride - That creepy vocal sample gave this a great vibe. Nice use of SFX and other sounds throughout.
Lust – Dope guitar. I liked this one a lot the first time I heard it in the Beat League.
Sloth – The beat fit the title perfectly. I could visualize s slow motion scene in a movie. And that reversed vocal sample had a great effect on the overall beat.
Vainglory – Dope. Probably my favorite on the album. Sounded like something that should have been on Late Registration.
Wrath – Banger. Hard hitting and aggressive. Perfect for the theme of the track.
Capital Vices – Great ending. Beautiful piano
Overall a great album…and you said this is your first? :wow: impressive. The order of the songs made the album flow very well. I really enjoyed it.
