Unfortunately it was following two great albums, so by comparison this came off as completely underwhelming. But in fairness, there's actually a lot to like about it. The storytelling on "Maxine" is about as intense as Ghost gets and then a few tracks later he's delivering one of the more fragile lyrics of his career with "Never Be The Same Again." While some of the interludes certainly feel out of place, ultimately this is a decent album that only deserves some of the scorn it receives.

perfect!
and i love the synths on 4th Chamber. i have a soft spot for GZA's cold, monotone and sophisticated rapping style as well.
you guys are gonna forget about that Wiz album once you get to hear Travis' new tape, it's so much better, no contest! Quinata Pt. 2 sounds like a song from Yeezus, it's THAT good!
