    Okay I listened twice back to back.
    Die hard jay electronica fan.

    There are beautiful ideas on here but I don’t think personally he hit the mark.

    Not a single song on here compares to the exhibits, shiny suit theory, better in tune, moleskin etc.

    Not putting a verse on the intro was a f***ing crime

    While the production was cool, it was too noisy at times. Jay is at his best when he’s on those stripped down piano chord progressions.

    One of the best beats, fruits of the spirit was 1:30 long. Another horrendous crime.

    I didn’t hear that pure godly confidence in Jay that I am used to. Idk why. Just didn’t feel as powerful as I wanted it to be.

    That being said, it was amazing to finally get the album and this will be in rotation for a while as I discover new little things. Outro was amazing, flux capacitor was amazing.

    My exact feeling. You can tell this was created in 40 days.

    Some ask me "Jay man
    Why come for so many years you been exempt?"
    'Cause familiarity don't bring gratitude just contempt
    And the price of sanity is too damn high just like the rent
    Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, uh, uh
    Sometimes I was held down by the gravity of my pen (Pen)
    Sometimes I was held down by the gravity of my sin (Sin)
    Sometimes like Santiago, at crucial points of my novel
    My only logical option was to transform into the wind

    Swear rappers know what we want but they purposely avoid doing it. Jay know it’s a crime not to spit a 64 bar verse on the intro. He would’ve smoked that.

    no chance

    Hov is amazing on this

    not heard hov like this for a minute

    Compare to this bit in his second Blinding verse

    "Hov hit me up like, "What, you scared of heights?
    Know you sister tired of workin', gotta do her something nice"
    I'm like, "Don't he know I stay up for Fallon late nights?"
    She need bread, she need rice, she need threads, she need ice
    Either tell it to my bank account or say it to the dice
    When I lay down in my bed it's like my head in the vice
    When I look inside the mirror all I see is flaws
    When I look inside the mural all I see is walls
    And the wee hours of night, tryna squeeze out bars
    Bismillah, just so y'all could pick me apart?"

    Guy must've been really scared of not living up to the hype
