Kamasi's new album dropped today. 16 songs almost 2 1/2 hours. I skimmed through it but looking forward to hearing it next week during a road trip.

Looking forward to it though

Seems more accessible than the epic, slightly more of a commercial feel....I dig it.

He's gonna make me break down and blow 50+ on the vinyl

As much as I loved the Epic it was just so long for me to constantly go back to.

I get it either way though.

or The Epic?

I’m someone that likes to listen to albums all the way through and the place I listen to music the most is on my commute. For me to break out the Epic, is signing up to listen to only that for the entire week lol.

Usually like to switch it up daily at least.

True but it’s about the journey that the album takes you through. It’s like watching a movie to me. Either album seems like it has its own storyline.

The journey isn’t the same when you have to keep stopping and coming back imo.

That may be on me and I know with reading books it is like that but I see an album similar to a movie. I don’t want to start it and stop it over the course of an entire week just to get to the end. That kind of ruins the vibe for me because my mood changes from day to day.

I may feel like jazz on Monday and MOP on Tuesday lol.

That means I will rarely ever get through his albums.

a lot of tracks just sound the same...this joint should've been half the lenght

The Choice EP....which now can be found on streaming services on it's own.

From the write up by Young Turks:

Kamasi Washington has shared a new EP, The Choice, on streaming platforms. It’s a companion piece to his recent album Heaven and Earth. Listen to it below. Fans who received the first pressing of Washington’s new album on CD and vinyl received a free copy of the EP. Among the five tracks are two covers: Carole King and Gerry Coffin’s “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” (originally recorded in 1960 by the Shirelles) and the Five Stairsteps’ 1970 song “Ooh Child.”

1. The Secret of Jinsinson

2. Will You Love Me Tomorrow

3. My Family

4. Agents of the Universe

5. Ooh Child

...just in case you needed another 40 minutes of music!
