P4K are clowns

this is incredible

try reading or working on things while listening, this a perfect album to chill to

Perfect work album

For real, what the f***

It's a great album but these mfs

Iv already read 2 books with this album!!

Some thoughts now that I've had a couple of spins of this:

First of all, if any of you are enjoying this and haven't heard Promises by Floating Points & Pharaoh Sanders, give it a listen. Probably the closest a***ogue that I can think of, and I find myself putting this on in similar "background music while I cook or to play along to for practice" contexts to what I did when that project first dropped.

Artistic reasonings aside, I think calling this an André 3000 solo project was a misstep. This is as much a showcase of his collaboration with the other players as his own contributions, and frankly I think it would've both elevated their profiles to be listed and primed the public for something MUCH different. He can explain all he wants, but there are only so many of us who actually listened to the interviews let's be real.

All of that said, though—this is a damn good listen and a very solid project on its own merits. I really think his flute stands up alongside the players he's playing off of, which was the biggest relief personally. This is where his passion currently lies, and I'm grateful he felt able and inclined to express it in this way. Easily one of the most unexpected releases of the year and I'd say the gamble paid off.

Huge 3000 fan.

I’ve sat with this album a few days now. I’ve listened to it in the background of my office while working on my engineering projects and then when I’m editing film photography for fun. I think it really works in that setting for me.

That said, I don’t think the album aims to be some sort of statement piece nor the center of attention like we usually consume music as. I didn’t feel immersed in every moment of the album. The album’s purpose in my opinion seems to be a sort of retreat by 3000. That has a negative connotation to it, but I fully believe retreating with this kind of album and lowering the stakes/expectations was by design, especially given his interviews in the past decade or so.

“Ants to You, Gods to Who” is incredible to me tho. I won’t exaggerate and say the entire album holds to that level for me personally, but it is really beautiful as just something to have on when you’re working on things and being creative. Album worked best for me when I was looking through old film from trips to Palestine. Haha, I know that’s a super weird niche but it did sound like a good score to that for me personally.

Good sleeping music

if nothin else this album reminds me that love bellow is so good <3

To be fair they labeled it that so people who are into rap see the name andre 3000

Don't think they meant anything by it but yeah they are corny in general

I feel like I'm roaming the open world on Zelda listening to track 1.
