I like the songs the sequencing just doesn’t flow well and the highs aren’t as high as pretty much any project he’s dropped in the past imo
agreed

He made the sequencing like that on purpose, there's an interview where he explains it. I feel you though
This album really don't feel like an album. Just like a random collection of songs tbh
Was intentional like I said above

“Making it thump” defines the essence of the album, down to its bare bones. “This one’s like getting into the car with me and giving me the aux,” he says. “It goes to all the places that I would put on my playlist.”
Also said the same thing here:

Describing his own record, the 27-year-old mulls over his words before landing on: “It’s like what’s going to happen if you give me the aux. I feel like I wasn’t always being true to that part of myself, but this is how I actually listen to music.”

I get wanting it to sound like a playlist but he’s not an artist I go to for that

Well as he’s said in some of the interviews for this album, the project was his attempt to not be pigeon holed into what he’s become known for
Was intentional like I said above
Ehh still wasn't executed the best. The songs themselves are good tho
album flows fine to me

Fire in the Hole is one of his best songs
This album is better than Vince Staples s/t

album flows fine to me

Old Friend is exactly the same, idk what that person is talking about. Meanwhile Lye has sound clips that aren’t in the streaming version and Earls spoken outro isn’t there.
