I received number 108 from the random number generator which happens to be Daytona by Pusha-T. Like many hip-hop-heads I know of my generations, we are not as conversant in the last decade or so as the previous 4, so I am interested in listening to this one.
First Track: If You Know You Know
Start: Not a really strong start as this song just keeps ending line-after-line-after-line with "boy." But, the song gathers steam after the first verse and is actually quite good.
Best Attribute: Production, especially the incorporation of the drums and horns.
Worst Attribute: The length of the album; 7 songs and 21 minutes long.
Best Song: Infrared - Easily the best song on the album - best lyricism and flow, with a nice beat.
Worst Song: If You Know You Know - I still can't get past that first verse.
Most Interesting Song: The Games We Play - This song incorporates a sitar!
Most Interesting Quality: A SITAR!
Would I listen again: For sure, especially if I just had a limited amount of time.
Who would I like to Re-Make/Re-Imagine this Album: Post Malone. His rapping vibe would be true to the album, but his rock sound and presence would make this album different and interesting.
