Nailed it.
I think this album may have a legitimate shot at being their album of the year, actually. I predicted it would get a 9.0 or above rating. That means that it's one of the top rated new albums of the year. TLOP and Bon Iver's 22, A Million got the same rating... Coloring Book and A Moon Shaped Pool both got 9.1s, and since Coloring Book isn't entirely an album in every official sense of the word, and the rest of those artists have all been given album of the year honors before (Kanye twice  ), I think Tribe has he best chance at the moment.
Also, it's their last opportunity to give ATCQ top honors.
Still not sure why they jizzed over the new Radiohead so much, but whatever. |
I don't know about pfork but I'll say this... the new Tribe is without a question my favorite hip hop album of the year. It's like... Tribe and then... whatever else.
