85 seems about right. There are some cringe worthy moments on this album, like Wild for the Night. Also, there are numerous times where Asap takes a trip to Tyler-town with a perfectly good song ruined by his low pitched bull. LVL is a great example of this. Things are going great, Asap's flow is crazy awesome in the middle of the track and then that low pitched UHHHHHNH comes in a blows the whole thing up. However, for all the little faults on the album, the last third of the album is really really good. As previously mentioned, 1 Train is a massive work. I don't know if I've felt synergy this good since classic Wu-Tang. Danger Mouse (my boy) shows the world again why he's one of the greatest producers alive with his delicious landscape in Phoenix. Finally, the closer Suddenly is brilliantly entertaining and haunting at the same time.

All in all, a good experience and Asap definitely has a new fan he didn't have last year, but the clear difference between an album like this and say Good Kid MADD City is the extremely obvious and vulnerable weak spots.

Can i quote the last person? It's disappointing with a couple of salvagable songs near the end, "f!@#king problems" and "1train", both coincidentally featuring many guests.

This is an album filled with really good tracks and tracks that are just downright terrible. I hate saying this (being a big fan of his live love mixtape) but there seem to be more downsides than upsides to this project. Great tracks: are: The title track, 1train, and suddenly. The somewhat decent tracks: Goldie, PMW, F**kin Problems. Every other track on this album is straight up garbage, especially wild for the night and fashion killa. I have no clue what A$ap is even thinking when he releases these deep 'suicidal' tracks, It almost seems like hes trying to prove himself as a lyrical rapper which he is in no way at all. A$ap Rocky definetly failed by trying to bring more than he could offer. I'll give this a 55 because there are 3 really great tracks on here.

A potentially great album, let down by two unignorable and unforgivably bad songs halfway through ('Fuckin' Problem' and 'Wild For The Night'). He still sounds better on Clams Casino beats than anybody else. Him and ScHoolboy Q also have great chemistry, as proven on 'PMW' and a handful of other tracks they've recorded together. Rocky's content may be lacking, but he has a great Southern flow and he sounds about as cool as anybody else rapping at the moment. Just a shame about those two aforementioned tracks, they are seriously terrible. Somebody should've vetoed that shit.

I underrated this on first listen. It avoids any major pitfalls, with only 1 real cringeworthy track (PMW) and one collaboration that should have failed but he saves it (Wild for the Night). He picks incredible beats that are very atmospheric, especially the incredible Clams Casino beats here. Solid pop rap. Also, "Goldie" is amazing.
