Definitely feeling it, bought the Target version, wondered why they put 2 tracks on the 2nd disc. Checked the length for the 1st one, clocking in at 78min, makes sense now. Honda Civic sounds sooo much better mastered on CD.

I just finished with my 2nd listen and i feel like tory still hasn't found his lane as an artist yet... Some songs he sounded like travis scott, fetty wap and even kendrick... All that said , this album was fire.

His sound was much more unique when he came into the game. Case in point.





But it came a point where he realized that he had to give in a bit and commercialize his sound more. Dude is ridiculously talented and has written and produced for a lot of rappers, including Travis Scott who you mentioned.

The Tory sound you guys are hearing is dumbed down and commercialized compared to how thorough and advanced his craft really is. This sound that you're hearing on this album isn't really who he is as an artist, but it's what everyone wants to hear.

:salute: This whole fukkin post is the truth. Let's be reality, Tory released straight heat on his mixtapes prior to this album. Lost Cause, Conflicts & Confusion, Toronto 3 mixtapes were all fire. I had a feeling the industry album was gonna be different. Drake did the same, So Far Gone was flames and could have been a great 1st official retail album, but he went a different route. Chamillionaire did the same thing, his mixtapes was flames, but he had to change it up for the industry retail. Giving this album a 2nd listen, it's a little different than the Tory you would be used to if you been following his work. I fukks with it though and definitely feeling it.

Target version comes with Honda Civic?

Yea, the 2nd disc has 2 tracks, Honda Civic is one of them.
