The best aspect of this album is the production. It is warm, jazzy, natural. The rapping was usually more than fine, though there were instances in the first couple of tracks where they were too energetic and somewhat distracting, maybe a more laid back "staying in the background" approach - that they follow much more during the next tracks - would suit the overall direction of the album better. Lyrics wise it definitely had some great moments, with the closing track A Day Like Any Other being a prime example of them ("I sighed, asked Si' why ride wit' no Idea where, sit your hide here There's no purpose on this ocean But to compare flow, maybe motion Overdosed in queer notion, almost a magic potion"), but the truth is I wasn't paying that much attention to them, this is clearly not the main focus of the album. Also, it felt refreshing that for once I'm left wondering whether this is too short, especially coming from a period of time when there was a tendency for double albums and almost everything was borderline too long.
