174033, These past 3 albums have gotten increasingly more religious,

and not in a uplifting, God is love type of message that some rappers preach, but in a "repent for your sins or go to hell" kind of way.

Besides that, sonically, I think this is their best album in a while. I usually listen to it twice in one sitting and the highlights are pretty good. The album flows together really well, the song structures are great, and Black Thought kills all his verses. The skits, as with most Hip Hop skits, have no playback and I skip The Devil & Dies Irae (and The Coming tbh) every time.

Despite the short length, seemingly Catholic messages, and boring interludes, I like this album a lot and I think it will be in my rotation for a while.
