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.
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.
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.
