![]() I like this album but I have somewhat mixed feelings about it. Would like to hear Sleepy try something new next time, similar to Lower Case, but there are still definitely some tracks on here that will go into my rotation. It's a bit like a mini Speakerboxxx/Love Below but it's literally anyone else besides Andre.īig Boi does most of the heavy lifting on this album, but the duo obviously have some chemistry left still. Most of my highlights are pretty much all of the rap-heavy songs, and it's not that I dislike Sleepy, it's just it's hard to not get outshone by Big Boi. Big Boi and Sleepy give each other a lot of room to do their own thing, but they give Killer Mike even more, and he does his name and murders his verses. Highlights are (and I'm sure I'm not alone in this) every Killer Mike track. Then it just devolves into a mix of animals noises and moans, and I'm out. Big Boi's line "give you booby from the side like some newly littered pups" is just. In my opinion, the weakest track is Animalz, where it's mostly Sleepy repeating the same thing, even in his "verse" he does very little to differentiate from the chorus. oh shit, it's time for the chorus again, bye! And then it just sort of ends. On Can't Sleep, what exactly is Sleepy trying to say? This girl keeps calling him well into the morning, and then. I find, however, that a lot of Sleepy's verses are there just to check off the boxes of either having him on the track, simply having a verse, or just so Big Boi doesn't have two verses in a row. Just sounds like a couple of chill dudes making cool jams together. ![]() The two obviously still have a ton of chemistry together which really comes to a crescendo on the final song. Sleepy Brown is smooth as buttery silk as always, and I really dug him going down 300 octaves to fit into Lower Case, one of the album highlights. His more political bars absolutely are still necessary and tend to be decently poignant, but when it ends and goes into the seemingly obligatory Sleepy Brown verse, it really takes some of the punch out of it. It sort of meanders from outdated and surprisingly demure sexual references to outright political statements of which I don't think Sleepy Brown is a particularly good backdrop for.īig Boi's bars still impress, his flow still one of the best, but some of the lyrics sound like a dad telling his daughter that she can't go out dressed "like that". I like this album, it's hard not to, but it seems to lack an overall cohesion.
