Yeah I really want to sit down and let it play through because from even the tracklisting you can tell that's how he wants it but I know I'll just skip around to the songs with features I want to hear right now so I'm not going to listen to it yet and now I'm going to finish typing this long ass sentence.

Yeah that track was the first (and only?) single. This really is meant to be listened to from front to back so do that. It's reminiscent of Sid Roams' Budapest Synth Orchestra.

Just finished the album and it's safe to say I liked every single track. Alc is in top form and created a very cohesive album with a great balance of ill verses and instrumental tracks. The 30 tracks clock in at ~46 minutes long, with the longest track being 2:37 and that was a wise move on Alc's part; it keeps the album moving & fluid. I recommend it. 5/5

haven't finished this yet, but so far this been really dope. best alchemist album to date. these instrumentals are just crazy, sounds like soundtrack for gritty ass 70's crime movie. dope how he got most of the new interesting rappers in this with some longtime collaborators like ev and big twins, missing prodigy tho

This album is really dope. I love the feel and flow of the production. I don't skip a track on this album and thats the best way to listen to it.

I can't really listen to just the individual songs on this album, except the schoolboy Q and Danny Brown one because thats just a sick track, but I just love the DJ Shadow, Dust Brothers depth of sampling in the production and the way everything ties together. It seems like a lot of time and creativity went into this album.
