For those that have heard the full album what are your thoughts? I like the album over all and it has some slaps but i'd say this is album is lacking a few things to put it on th same level as his first two albums.
Now before you start calling me a hater or whatever check the many reviews i've done on the Mob-figaz albums in the review section (You know the section no one ever posts in anymore). The figz are my most listened to bay artists period annd i check out all their shit, but the hype and build up for this album does not match the finished product.
Its a hot album no doubt and will get played threw summer but beyond that? I don't think so. Id give it a 3.5 out 5 or maybe 4 out 5 depending on your tastes, def worth a cop but not a classic IMO. The years spent waiting for Jack artist matched up to the finished product but Tear Gas just leaves me wanting Jacka to hurry up and release a better album more on par with his previous classics.
The main problem is the lack luster features, some are cool, some are average and some are just plain shit. The chemistry is off in alot of them an i doubt if they were even in the same studio. A Fed-X or Husalah feauture would have gone along way into making this project gel together alot more then it does. The beats are mostly dope but unlike previous Jacka albums the full potential isnt used, either due to crap features or average delivery of concept. The album songs don't flow into each other aswell as they do on his other two albums either.
My best songs are Summer, Dreams, Callin my name & The Movement. Overall i'd say cop this album but don't compare it to Jacka's Previous two albums if you want to get the most out of it.
Now feel free to cuss me out for giving my honest opinion.
