After the critical acclaim of "TPAB", everyone was curious about how Kendrick Lamar's next project would be welcomed. Without giving a too subjective opinion that would lead to debates without a winner, let's say that he still managed to bluff his world. Resolutely different thematically and musically, we can qualify "DAMN." of success. Kendrick Lamar knows how to be bold and knows how to accompany his audience. It must be admitted that "Damn." still seems less striking than his predecessor. Already because we are less surprised by the excellence which King Kendrick is forced, then because the choice of productions, less flamboyant, may mark less spirits. One thing is certain: Kendrick Lamar has taken a new dimension and has just made a new demonstration of its precedence in the game. Between surprise announcements, excellent album and magic clips, no doubt the good news has been announced: the King, here it is.

8/10

Best track: "HUMBLE."

Is it just me or does the production not hold up compared to TPAB?

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

Kung Fu Kenny took the best of GKMC and TPAB and put it all together in DAMN. While it may not be as great conceptually, it still stands out among its contemporaries.

I think TPAB and GKMC were significantly better (especially in production). Now that I'm actually putting in more listens to this album, I find it so frustrating that the songs that always get played from this album (DNA, Humble, Loyalty) really aren't the best at all. I'm not a huge fan of the production style here, but wow the last half of the album was thematically incredible.

Great album, even if not the best of Kendrick Lamar.

Pancada a sociedade, raps fortíssimos e batidas incríveis.

XXX is one of Kendrick's best songs. Loyalty might be his worst

Pretty good album.
