    even with all the issues dave sometimes has with his music he at least can make those serious songs way more compelling like both sides of a smile doesn’t feel like 8 minutes but the intro to stormzy album feels like 8 years.

    dave also pads out his albums with a few party anthems which links well with the theme of the album. i admire stormzy for doing an album with a consistent theme and sound in this kind of direction but it doesn’t help if the music isn’t that compslling

    Might give it a spin again to see if I missed something on my first go round

    probably gonna be a snoozefest

    literally is

  • Nov 25, 2022

    Scared to listen tbh

  • Nov 25, 2022

    not even kidding i'm getting tired listening to this

  • Nov 26, 2022

    It's a nice album musically but it's summer in the southern hemisphere and I'm not heartbroken so I don't know what's gonna compel me to relisten to this

  • Nov 27, 2022

    Running through it rn, this intro is so hard wow

  • Nov 27, 2022

    This album growing me tbh. So many great tracks on here but songs like Holy Spirit do nothing to me, I appreciate the quality but not for me.

    My Presidents Are Black, I Got My Smile Back and This Is What I Mean are standouts for sure
    Kinda wish Please and Sampha's Plea were merged into one track, would've been a 10/10 collab

  • Nov 27, 2022

    I don't usually listen to Stormzy, but when Bad Blood came on, that's all I listened to when I was driving to and from work.

    So nice

  • Nov 27, 2022

    Gave it a listen, it's nice I don't like all the ballad songs but it sounds like he put his heart into it and tried to get creative, Fire+Water is dope and so are the catchier songs on here, also more Sampha is always blessed

  • Nov 27, 2022

    album kinda ass but got me missing my ex

    google “i-D magazine covers” and you will probably notice a recurring theme

    I feel like Tyler is going to hate that Stormzy has basically said Igor was his inspiration behind this album

  • this is insane

    I feel like Tyler is going to hate that Stormzy has basically said Igor was his inspiration behind this album

    He said Tyler having a message to the fans as part of the roll out was an inspiration behind him also doing that

    But even if the album itself was an inspiration was true why do you say would Tyler hate that?

    It's just a gut feeling I have based on Tyler's personality

    Samphas plea a snoozer. Weakest interlude from him yet.

    Most the beats to similar and sample heavy

  • Nov 29, 2022

    Features with no names🙄, samples and the beats the best part of the album. His rapping so ass
