Not within 24 hours after the album came out. This obsessive need to compare something after one listen to an artist magnum opus isn’t the best way to consume art. IMO
Not everyone considers blankface his MO, plenty of people still hold H&C in that respect. But yes, it makes sense to compare it to the last album you liked from him. Plenty of people in here even comparing it to crash talk - the highs and lows of both albums.

Production wise this feels like leftovers from a Danny Brown session (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). Will take more listens buts it's okay so far.

I was going to make this point....this is some Danny Brown shyt with a orange hoover rag esthetic over it....I don't mind Q stepping into different lanes as a fan I mean 15 years into a career that's what you should be doin..but I just hope he sticks the landing better execution wise on the next album...some of these "songs" just sound like concepts still formulating...maybe that's the vibe he wanted but it does leave something to be desired musically

I agree with the bolded but come on man, you're doing way too much in here. It's natural to compare the new joint to the last good one. I mean what's the alternative? "Compared to the last 4 years of no music this album slaps" Please

Wasn't feeling it initially because I'm used to more cohesion from Q and this album is not that but it's getting better after each listen. Some songs are too short.


Why not just put this version on the album?

If he would have made an album full of songs like
Yeern 101, Pop, oHio, and Movie :whew:I wanted to hear Gibbs spazz on the beat switch :beli:

Playing this shyt properly in the gym. First 4 track sequence is incredible. Wish Rico Nasty wasn't on track 2 but Q has come back focused.
