If I have the time and if I'm not too drunk later tonight, I might throw my 2 cents this way. To sum up, very good but no masterpiece from where I stand.

[reDEFinition]

I think I understood this album on an emotional level FAR better than I did on an analytical level. And I can't get enough of it. In my case it might be better to give it more listens before trying to break down the messages/themes of this album.
But in my opinion, Kendrick has managed to create his best and most cohesive album yet, even after setting the bar high with good kid, m.a.a.d. city.

Hilarious review

[Wombi]

Currently the fourth best reviewed album in metacritic's history http://www.metacritic.com/browse/albums/score/metascore/all?sort=desc 😎

Equal to the 2 above it and with more than triple the reviews of what's in first place.

and #1 on anydecentmusic's (admittedly brief) all time list

http://www.anydecentmusic.com/chart/AllTime.aspx

It's unlikely to go down (though certainly possible) on either since it's got about the amount of reviews most albums tend to have at their peak.

Despite talking to a couple of users on here about why I think quantifying music is dumb 🤣 this is quite an achievement.

x days later and i am back to thinking that this is just "good"

i appreciate it/what it's going for, but it's nothing super spectacular for me

maybe that'll change again? who knows

It'd better because that opinion is wrong. It's a pretty much perfect album so stop fucking vacillating on that fact.

Just listened to this for the first time. and it's amazing. Stunning, really. But, it doesn't make me sweat. GKMC made me sweat. It felt real. It was intense & vivid & personal. This is a bit too artificial. Sounds sick, but the scene feels just a bit sterile. We'll see. i don't put too much stock in first listens, but I feel pretty strongly about this. Still ambitious & impressive as fuck, but perhaps that's it's downfall.
