It's a good record, but to me the first two tracks, you are the best thing, and, let it be me, sound like songs requested by his record company for two commercial tracks for single purposes and then he can do what he wants with the rest of the album. They are the weakest songs on the album. Best of the better tracks are, Sarah,Meg White, and, Henry nearly killed me. Another competent Ray Lamontagne record. "[+]Reply

Especially in this album you can guess how ambitious it is just by checking the credits. This includes both the production (Kanye West, The Neptunes, Tony Pizarro, Flip, T.Mix, Nashiem Myrick among others) and the featuring MCs (Jay-Z AND Nas, that's all you need to know) and some singers, too (Kelly Price, Faith Evans and Tanya Herron). This all-star cast manages to keep the balance, on the one hand to remain faithful to the south while at the same time adding mainstream elements. By the way, I didn't mention the above to imply that Scarface depends on others to make the album work, he plays his part as it was expected, no major complaints in that department. Lyrics present some classic crime stories ("I started small time, dope game, pushin on the corner Twenty cent cook-up, fifty flippers if you want 'em Full of formaldehyde, my clothes wreakin marijuana Cops rollin up on us, my neighborhood's like a sauna Pistol-grippin, insurin won't nobody run up on us But if they do, fuck 'em, we murderous nickel-dome 'em I ain't playin no games, I'm on a mission fo' the change Motherfuck being a lame, I'm ten toes in the game - deep I can't slip, this whole world want me sleep") mixed with some religious stuff ("I been gone away from home for so long Seems like everything I try to do without you go wrong I'm confused about a lot of things, but not with my faith So I'm depending on your holy ghost to guide me the way See, I'm a sinner in the third degree Ain't afraid to admit it, 'cause I seen niggas worse than me Who am I to judge a man when I'm a man myself In the dark, trying to get me some help? I went from pawn to king, king back to pawn Doing my best to try to ease out the storm"). One issue I have with this album is consistency, I consider the first half significantly stronger than the second, and it's a relatively short album, so it's even more striking."[+]Reply

Fast forward 6 years and 2018's 'Wanderer' has opened my eyes to the charms of Charlyn Marie "Chan" Marshall ..this is one special album
There's something old about these tracks , they feel like they have come from a bygone era but they haven't . Even the Rihanna cover "Stay" feels musty and covered in cobwebs
Sometimes the best albums have that intangible x factor where you know its great but you struggle to conceptualise why - it just is . 'Wanderer ' is one such album
One 2018's best releases "[+]Reply
"Very good. Loads of variety and solid end to end. This is likely a contender for A.O.T.Y. for me, but I'll need to revisit it a few more times before I commit."Reply
"Don't let the condensed tracklisting fool you, this album picks up where I Am Not Afraid of You left off and is just as sprawling.

With songs veering in almost every direction the band has ever explored, Popular Songs is coming from a band oozing with confidence in who they are as a band. Highlights range from the gentle "I'm On My Way", to the droning "More Stars Than There Are In Heaven", to the classic YLT noiserock of "And the Glitter Is Gone". This is band that just keeps going and is here to stay."[+]Reply
""The Dance of Solitude", one of Paulinho's greatest classics, if not his masterpiece. A handful of his most well known songs are here (my favorite is the haunting "Meu Mundo É Hoje", one of samba's best lyrics), besides a version of Cartola's "Acontece" and the ironic "Falso Moralista", by Nelson..."""The Dance of Solitude", one of Paulinho's greatest classics, if not his masterpiece.
A handful of his most well known songs are here (my favorite is the haunting "Meu Mundo É Hoje", one of samba's best lyrics), besides a version of Cartola's "Acontece" and the ironic "Falso Moralista", by Nelson Sargento. It ends with a heartfelt tribute to Paulo da Portela, one of samba's pioneers.
Sublime, beautiful work of art. "[+]Reply

The running theme of the album is of apocalyptic death and desolation but told within the framework of humanities quest for salvation among the fatalistic ruins and bleak despair of war. The imagery conjured up by the music is one of dense macabre symbolism and the atmosphere mournful. Rap's art is closer to the surrealism of Dali and Ernst than it is to the psychedelic LSD "trip".
