Top 5 all time...stays rippin it...

I was ready to dismiss it as Monch trying to get his Gnarls Barkley on (I hate it when rappers try to get their Gnarls Barkely on *cough* body baby). But he sounds locked in lyrically.

Also, getting strong Equinox era vibes from his outfit.

keyboard player too.

just finished my first listen and its pretty great. i dont know if the quality of the songs picked up halfway or i just adjusted to what they were doing. loved the second half. the first half was a mix of good/great. overall i like the range, its not just loud and aggressive.

definitely plan to give it some more spins.

content wise it seems it would have been more fitting to have released before this week but that doesnt really take away from the enjoyment.

My fear was it would be all screaming and thrashing, but it's all balanced much better than I thought. Album is dope.

I was very skeptical because rap/rock mash ups are just not for me outside of a handful of songs in the universe.

I also didn't love Fight when I heard it. (I enjoyed it much more in the flow of the album)

But this album is fantastic. A few tracks just aren't for me, like The Magician and a couple others.

But this is great. And Monch is spitting.

Now that Thought has *rightfully* been getting more praise/etc...Monch has taken the crown as most underrated rapper to me. Well, him or Blu.

or 3rd ish listen (ive heard individual songs multiple times) im getting music to be murdered by vibes by eminem but without the bad hooks and overall cornyness lol.

i never would had thought to compare them two but they actually have some similarities.

still enjoying the album, not that theres much out yet but probably my favorite project of the year so far.
