instead of trying to infuse his old sound with a bigger pop sound, he completely abandoned his style for obvious pop grabs...the difference is too jarring when trying to hear him shuffle between the two and the cd sounds so discombobulated...I Can't Feel My Face was his best attempt at it, but the other tracks are pretty embarrassing....

as a day one fan, i'm not even mad he tried to go pop, i'm just mad he made such an elementary attempt at it...

edi: who is this Dornik dude and why are y'all posting about him here? i added his album to my library to listen to later off the strength of y'all recommendation, but what's his story?

i agree. im not mad he wants to go pop but his sound completely changed and i can tell another person wrote those jawns lol

i wish he fused his new and old sound more like the hills and cant feel my face

imma still listen to him and check for him but he moved away from that PBR and B lane with the quickness

lets pray frank ocean doesnt go this route lol

:dwillhuh: :deadmanny:

:mjcry: these mixed reviews. Have to honestly say, I really enjoyed this thou.
I do agree with dude in here who said its kinda like hearing MBDTF for the first time in that many of thr best songs we heard a while ago. Imagine if this was the first time we had heard "often"

I like most of it but the ending half im gonna need to listen again to make a fair assessment

Real Life...meh

Losers...wack..

Tell your friends about it....:banderas:

Acquainted is nice, should've used in the 90s instead though

Shameless.... was ok

In the night... hurts my ears, stopped after 20 seconds

As you are....ok

Dark times....nice

Prisoner..:salute:

Angel...:banderas: strong closer....

like the brehs said, having 4 songs already out really hurts the listening experience
