I think its slightly better than The New Danger but so far, I've only listened to it twice now.

I had heard that he only did the album in order to fulfill is record contract. I hope that the rumor isn't right and that he'll still be doing albums in the future.

I didn't even know this existed. Excellent news. New Danger grew on me, but I really wish Mos (Andre 3000 too for that matter) would stick to rhyming. Some of the singing works, but it's not what they're best at. Umi Says was great, though.

I just got this and will give it a listen after I digest More Fish. Can't be much worse than The New Danger.

this album just enforced my notion that mos has fallen off. Sure, its better than a new danger, but all in all, its terrible.

im sad

i dunno what you were expecting. But, you didnt like Undeniable, Napoleon Dynamite, Murder of a Teenage Life, or Fake Bonanza??

i mean, he's not going to make another Black on Both Sides or Blackstar, but it's pretty good.

I'm a bit surprised he out and out used the beat from GZA's "Liquid Swords." That's some mixtape stuff right there.

I just noticed this tacked onto the end of All Music's review of the album:

Nearly two weeks after the album made it to stores, Geffen revealed that it would be re-released a few months later with full artwork and a slightly different track listing.

Interesting. I still haven't bought this album. Guess I'll wait a little while, if I buy it at all.
