    No real standout classics Like Forgot Sbout Dre & Still DRE.

    But a very consistent album. Not a bad song.

    I'm with you except that Genocide has really grown on me. I couldn't get into it at first but I love it now. It'd be a lot better without chick singing the reggae rapping bs but other than that I think it's great. The Game song is still s--- though. It's crazy to me that people love this song because he's no different than Eminem was at his worst. Awful flow, ridicuous voice changes, not really saying much of anything. Terrible, terrible verse. Why is he rapping in so many different ridiculous voices? Like I said it's no different than Eminem's accent was to me. People who enjoy that need to go listen to 04-07 Game stuff. Besides that I can't get into Love Of Money. It's not bad but it's really boring and just meh all the way around. Other than that this is my favorite album since MDBTF.

    So upon enough listens, (I think), in my honest humble opinion, Genocide is the best beat of 2015 so far. With a great pair of headphones or stereo system it is just too good. Obviously music is very subjective and I respect other peoples opinions but the beat is just straight dirty. It may not be the best song on the album, but it is just so pleasing to the ears.

    After three weeks, Compton is an album that I can listen to without skipping songs. I can't say that for either the Chronic or 2001. I want to see how what my opinion is after a few months, but I don't think it is crazy for anyone to say that it is better than the previous two.

    As far as top songs:

    1. All In A Days Work - Love the live instrumentation. I didn't see the credits, but the beat has Dre's fingerprints all over it. LIve bass, live drums.... The dude playing the high hats goes off. This beat is almost like a jazz beat. Love the back and forth between Dre and Anderson Paak. To me, this song is up there with anything Dre has done so far. s--- is on repeat. Also, anyone else notice the high hats toward the end of the song, show up on the next song Darkside at about 45 secs or so?

    2. Genocide - This beat is ridiculous. The bass and surround sound. Kendrick kills his verse.

    3. Deep Water - My favorite beat on the whole album. Once again Kendrick kills it. Man I would love to hear a Kendrick Lamar album produced entirely by Dre. He kills it on every song on this album, but on TPAB his beats were terrible compared to what he was rapping to on this one.

    4. Talking to My Diary - Slim the Mobster brought his A game on this one. Love this track.

    5. Loose Cannons - Can't believe Dre brought back Hutch on this one. Hutch killed it. Xzibit killed it.

    I'm surprised to see some people complaining about this album. From start to finish this is my favorite Dre album. I still can't figure out who Justus is or the difference between the female singers on the album, but could care less.

    Grew tired of this album like a week ago. Still a really solid project but I honestly can't see myself playing this much as a whole anymore.

    But you claid you hate this album more than I hate MMLP2? Not only would I not have shelled out a single penny for it I'd have been absolutely mortified standing somewhere in public with that CD in my hands.

    A modern Chronic 2001 is what I always envisioned Detox being. Sucks that that's pretty much where it was at and then it fell through and got altered.
