Dec 26, 2024 Funnily enough that album got a very medicore reception when it came out. If you look at reviews from 2001 a lot of them gave it a 6/10. And if you look at reviews posted in the last 10 years they all call it a 9/10 classic. Go figure
Dec 28, 2024 @Michael Myers you're up tomorrow! @AOTWClub get your reviews in for Ab Soul - Soul burger I kinda assumed we'd slack a bit due to holidays so no pressure if you're all busy! I've still gotta do mine, only gave it one listen so far
Dec 28, 2024 I really enjoyed Soul Burger, but I’ve been branrotted so much that the title reminded of the d--- Fortnite Durr Burger
Dec 29, 2024 Ab Soul- Soul Burger Besides Control System, which i played the f--- out of when it dropped I've never really got into Ab-Soul Gonna give my reaction to each track lol The intro track to "Soul Burger" 9 Mile is absolute fire, I love the 8 mile nod and the sample being used. Paiday follows up and is also very good. After these two tracks it becomes very hit and miss. All that is extremely boring, and California dreams misses the mark for me. Bucko Jr is pretty decent, Ab goes hard on it. I, myself and me- DND and Don Julio 70 are terrible, I liked doechiis album and had high hopes for her feature but it's dogshit. Go pro is meh, I don't wanna listen to it ever again. Saudi sweats makes me not wanna finish this album like wtf is this garbage? Squeeze 1st 2 is okay i guess f--- i dunno, Saudi sweats is just in my mind now Crazier is pretty good, JID Peace puts me to sleep, it's just so slow The sky is limitless is okay, but I'm over this album Righteous man isn't bad, a decent outro Overall score: 4/10 The album has bright spots, but so much garbage it really brings the score down. It's a fairly disappointing listen for me. @AOTWClub
Dec 29, 2024 g.d. the pressure of having the last pick (and thereby for most the first) of the year d--- But first gonna check the Ab album!
Dec 29, 2024 I decided which I wanna do, while listening. Post it today or tomorrow @Justin Trudeau You mentioned me around midnight (my time) so technically that means monday to me. Just checking lmao
Dec 29, 2024 Aight I already changed my mind on it anyway lmao gonna post in a bit after the tbt for Soul Burger
Dec 29, 2024 Ab Soul - Soul Burger At first I have to say I appreciate he's doing lots of different stuff. It isn't the same type of production for 15 songs which you hear a lot. But I can't say I like all of it. Some songs are just a chore to sit through because they are kind of a mess to me. Track by track: 9 mile - such a shame he wasted the first 2 minutes talking lol. Don't care for that s--- at all. But when the music starts, so the last 2 minutes, it's great! Paiday - it's okay I guess All that - love the production. Not really sure about those guys on here but they don't bother me either California Dream - too many weird stuff with the beat flips, if they just kept the beat going.... and then the last 1.5 minute another skit or whatever. Shame really Bucko Jr. - okay I like it but that much either I, Myself and Me - I like the first beat but the hamster wheel loop is kinda lame. Then the second beat is so annoying, it's a mess. Had high hopes for this Dnd - okay, but that notorious niq isn't it lol Don julio 70 - also okay but no replay value at all for me Go Pro - another song I kinda had high hopes for, it's just lazy imo especially the second half Saudi sweets - lol Squeeze first - okay Crazier - I just wish this had more 'beat' than it does. Both ab and jid go in though Peace - I can repeat what I said about Crazier. Lupe verse is cool Sky is Limitless - I like this! Righteous man - okay So yeah basically the album, to me, is the word I used most: okay. Interesting listen though. 6/10 @AOTWClub @Allis Mines nice pick bro
Dec 29, 2024 Okay ever since this club started people were saying 'oooh Myers coming with Pitbull and pop music'!!! I think I behaved so far, but since we going to change formats this is my last chance. I was going to do a Pitbull album, or maybe a Jay album (the greatest r---r of all time) But I'm going to do you all a favour since we have to listen to like 90 albums already for @DiggleDogg69 new years event! So I'm picking one of my favorite albums of 2024, which is an EP. I have to say I'm heavily biased because it's so connected to the movie so I get people not liking this at all. But here we go: @AOTWClub @Justin Trudeau I give you a pop album!
Dec 29, 2024 Movie sucks a---, hopefully this is better than that piece of utter dogshit movie 17 minute album??? Wish the piece of s--- movie was 17 minutes, id have wasted less time lol
