I was actually just listening to this album yesterday with my brother for the first time in ages talking about the same thing! It came out the year before I gratuated high scool and my memories are very similar to yours. I rate it slightly above Fishscale since it's more coherent as an album. The structure of Fishscale never worked to well for me, but it might have more highlights.. Anyway, both are great albums especially considering that they are not in his top two. Imagine if Bulletproof Wallets had come out the way it was intended. Ghost would have had the best 5 album run in hiphop by far. I actually found the 2lp clean radio promo version of BPW which has Good Times, The Sun + the OG versions of Flowers and The Forest on it recently. Gives you a good impression of just how great the album could have been..
