There's enough bright spots on the album to make it worth a listen..But I just can't get past Tay's redundant melodies anymore... He just kind of meanders over songs without ever catching a melody that pulls you in or prompts you to sing along.

I wish I could articulate it better... I just know that singers like Bilal, and to a lesser degree Chris Brown, and Frank Ocean have a knack for crafting melodies that bring life to otherwise boring beats and rhythms. A lot of the songs here just come off as bland to me because Tay's melodies just don't marry well to the music...

FE just hasn't been my cup of tea since Leave It All Behind...

But what do I know....Y'all go head and keep the party goin....
