The first six minutes of that was great, including the spoken word bit but that next six minutes of chatting with Tupac was unnecessary. The album was already like seventy minutes long, who needs that filler?

Yeah to be fair I didn't realise it was part of a 12 minute song.

Ehhh, the line or two about Michael Jackson is a little icky. I do think the first six minutes are okay, although the album has maybe gone on a little long by then, but really the Tupac stuff is just stupid.

Weirdly, I enjoyed it less after a couple more listens. There's less going on there than it first seems. The Needle Drop gave it a 10! But then he's an absolute tool so I guess that was to be expected. I do like the album a lot, but is it really as experimental as people are making it out to be? Plenty of Hip-hop artists have tread similar ground, and it's hardly a revolutionary sound. It seems that popular Hip-hop artists get given credit for doing something even slightly left-field. Having said that, it's probably a solid 8/10.

I knew he would give it a 10. If any other artist came out with this exact album you know for a fact that he wouldn't be giving it a perfect score.

Josef K · 03-18-2015, 02:50 PM

I think I'd agree with 8/10 or so being appropriate - I really enjoy it but it's sort of messy and it goes on too long.

But who knows? After all, we need to accept the possibility of a record so excellent we don’t understand it yet.

ETA: Uh, that last sentence was a joke. Or a reference. Or something.

**Goofle** · 03-18-2015, 02:51 PM

I'd go 7/10

is TPAB the album the world deserves or the album the world needs?

It's an album that exists in the world.
