id probably give it a 8 but his review was fair tbh bc his only complaint was he wanted more

i’m surprised by the mix reception; i really loved this album. i can see it blending together towards the 2nd half, but the lyricism on every song is top notch

someone itt said it earlier but he tells what he’s feeling more than he shows what he’s feeling. the bars just kinda lack a poetry to them to me he’s just sayin I f***ed up the relationship, I’m sad, I regret it but not really diving into it deeper than that

honestly im kinda irritated at the length of this + the lack of manic danny lmao

got 2 tracks on a fairly pedestrian Alc beat and Dead Sword Angel w/ a recycled Griselda sample

some great stuff on here but it should’ve been longer, feels so undercooked

It's a really damn good album, Danny just spoils us by being so great all the time

If some new act came out with this, I would be very excited about what's in store for them

i definitely agree that this should've been longer. uknowwhatimsayin was short as is, but i felt it was necessary since it felt like a transitional record (not in a bad way).

i'm trynna remember the songs from the IG stream that didn't make it onto the final version cuz it definitely felt like a different album...i was thinking it was some masterpiece when he was streaming

yeah uknowwhatimsaying was brief but after AE it was a pretty good “reset” (if that makes sense) after such a haunting, dark and unsettling album, but that album felt like more of a completed work than this one to an extent, like it’s satisfying in spite of being pretty much the same length

it’s like this project hits you with some hot s***, gives you one or two laps of some absolutely classic Danny and then that’s it

uknowhatimsaying got Best Life, Theme Song, Dirty Laundry, Savage Nomad etc.

and for a project that’s supposed to be the spiritual successor to XXX the nigga should’ve threw 20+ on it

idk maybe im just b****ing, 4+ years for 34 minutes of Danny just feels underwhelming

yeah the production on uknowwhatimsayin is way better now that i think about it...it's a lot more memorable, even though i believe this new album showcases some of danny's best lyrics and storytelling

ok maybe this album isn't as amazing now that i'm processing it more lol...i still love it, but f*** when you compare it to his last album that is structurally similar it kinda makes me 2nd guess myself. i hate to compare the two of them like that, but cmon uknowwhatimsayin had f***in Combat

This album better than uknowwhatimsayin

Felt like Danny played it a lil to safe on that album

i just wish there was more variety on quaranta...or maybe just sequenced better? because yeah the songs are there but it really blends together for me towards the 2nd half when you have just normal voiced danny over those beats (celibate and bass jam are top tier danny imo though)

I need to spend more time with Quaranta but uknow came out exactly when I needed it and that album was a massive comfort to me. The title track and Best Life were the soundtrack to my life in 2019 and I've always vibed with the variety on that album.

Quaranta is full of great beats and writing but I just don't need more sad s*** in my life right now. I'll come back to it more when I'm in the mood because the quality is there.

We got an album of manic danny already this year you thirsty mfs damn

over JPEG’s ADHD ass prod

i love STH but i just wanted more solo Danny dawg

Which lyricists “show” the best to you?

Never fails.

Agreed

earl

now i’m realizing that i love her

im not tryna argue, but this album is objectively way more safer than uknowhatimsayin, and im fairly sure you actually know that

I really dig this. Better than uknowwhatimsayin (outside of songs like Best Life, Three Tears).

Feels more like a grown up, mature album with it's themes, which makes sense considering it's about a rapper entering his 40s.

Tbh I made peace with the fact that the truly manic, crazy Danny is probably well behind us, and we always have AE to always return to.

When ya burn ya learn.

Yeah but I had to listen to Peggy rap in the process
