I listened to it two times today. It's not immediatly classic, but there IS definitely a lot of garnish to be heard on the beats. The production actually reminds me a tad of Balance and Options, except more spacey and absorbing.

Quik branched out on this album from his classic sound big time. Overall it's a dope album and seems like it will grow on me like the chronic 2001 did after a few listens (when I first heard that I didn't know what to think of it bc it's sound was so new and fresh)

after his past few albums, I know where Quik is at and his mind state in making music. This is a solid album; there aint no denying his skills. There are some beats that I don't like, but I appreciate the production, mixing, and even just the sounds he uses. and i like jon b on the tracks as well.

As a whole it grew on me after a couple of more spins, still don't like that handful of weak songs. Nobody is perfect tho, the good songs are pretty good so I can't complain too much.

This album is solid. As others have mentioned, theres some songs that get the skip, but some really good ones on here too. I understand he isnt known as the best mc, but i'd rather listen to him than most of the featured verses.

Overall id probably give it a 3.5 or 4 out of 5.

Nobody has mentioned anything about The End? The first half of the song recreates the intro from Safe and Sound and the second half is one of the best beats on the album and Quik has a smooth flow and even clowns Pharrell.

I think a lot of the negative reviews are from people that quickly skim through a few seconds of each song. Albums like this should be played through in their entirety in a good system to truly appreciate them. After a couple of weeks this CD is sounding better and growing on me more and more...
