Oxnard was an easy fix with some trimming

I revisited recently, and it's not a bad album per se

But there are just full stops at certain points

in particular, the Dre jawns should've been cut from the album

Would've been a home run had he stayed in the 70s funk vibe of the first track...and carried that throughout...I think every other song could have contributed to the cohesiveness

That is to say...if he's going to turn this around and drop an album next month...I'm skeptical that it's just not more of the same

I mean, I don't expect dude went back in the studio and recorded all new songs for a more singularly focused album

I expect to get reworks of songs that didn't make Oxnard and a repeat of the scattered sound

Hope I'm wrong though

In any event, for those that haven't caught dude live

It's a fucking party, and even if he doesn't get back to the status of Malibu...he'll have a career as a live artist.
