I think the fact that Blu dropped a rough version first, followed a year later by a better mixed album with a slightly tweaked tracklist, threw me off a bit. This reminded me to come back here and revisit this convo:

Like I've said, I really really liked and still like GMMF. But I far prefer BtH and after 3 listens I *definitely* prefer Miles as well. The latter two just *feel* like more complete, focused efforts to me, even ignoring the context of how GMMF was released. And the highs are higher on BtH and Miles as well.
