Run the Jewels 3

This is a fantastic review:

https://consequenceofsound.net/2016/...-the-jewels-3/

I’m not going to deny that this an exciting album that sets an outstanding pace and has hooks you can hang your hat on. But it’s still just so stubbornly dry. It never surprises you. The sonic landscapes are really cool but it never melts and redesigns itself as something new while holding the hook. The hypnotic vibe gets freaky but sometimes hip hop like this needs to transform but this is too conservative. It’s like they’re afraid that greatness would be mistaken for silliness. Push. Boundaries. Further. And don’t use Kamasi Washington. Yuck.
