Pros:
Beats are wonderfully melancholic and subdued throughout without becoming dull, sampling a number of jazz and funk elements including prominent bass lines, intrepid piano chord progressions and free-flowing percussion performances
Thematic content is deeply emotional and is explored in a mature yet vulnerable manner, providing a shockingly unflinching examination of both societal and personal issues
Pacing is much improved from NWBD, using spoken passages to great effect without slowing things down all too much
Vocal timbre is full of bitterness and sorrow without sacrificing on any clarity or technique
Cons:
Flows are largely sufficient but rarely impress, speaking to an artist in the process of improvement and evolution
Deemphasis of hooks makes many tracks somewhat unmemorable after the fact
Best: Polyfilla
Worst: Georgetown
8/10 Sir, keep your eyes on the road
