I was dissatisfied with it. Just kind of that same lazy earl flow the whole record, drags on and gets a little boring. Say all you want about lyrics, if you can't deliver them in a compelling way it's kind of a wash.
Oh also the first verse on the record, the hell was earl thinking putting that on there... Turrible. The Tyler features dragged those songs down as did his production.
I refuse to listen to it until I buy it. I have heard Hive though since it was a single and if the rest of the album is packing heat such as that, I will be thoroughly enjoyed.
For Earl it is. His down-trodden delivery is a big part of what makes this album darker in mood. Like I said, a happy, feel good Earl song is not something he is really capable of doing. I think sunday is as close as you're going to get to that.
