well.. i finally got a chance to sit down and take it all in, my first reaction..
all I can say is.. WOW.. This is not in any way the album i expect him to put out. After all the wait, the delays the push backs?? I mean im not tryin to down Cham.. but in no way can i see this as his best work. There just seems like there way too many things missing from this album. I was in shock after i had to skip through some of the songs just to get them over with.. NEVER have i had to do that with any Cham album/mixtape..
now after listening to it several times.. its growing on me more.. but thats the thing, Chamillionaire has never had "to grow on me".. All the way up till Tippin Down 2K5.. theres always been stand out Cham songs.. the album didnt have one of them, besides Turn it up, and i would have not thought that would be the best "Chamillionaire sounding song" on the album.. I think they made a mistake by leaking the better songs on the album.. because there wasnt really anything to look forward too.. Dont get me started on that Radio song.. wtf how do you even think to come up with a weird ass chourus like that.. I dont know, i am dissapointed.. i wasnt all into the hype.. the only hype that i took in was how well i liked Cham's mixtapes.. I dont know if he was too nervous about this being his first major solo or what.. it seems like he had no Charisma in the first couple songs.. like he was just rapping.. what happend to that unstoppable cocky rapper that spit fire that we knew? remember, stay switchin styles!
bottom line, i know the album will grow on me the more i listen to it.. it already has, i wish he took a different route and tried to make it like his past work.. i see tryin to reach different subject and he didnt wanna come like Paul Wall.. but i thought he did great on House of Pain, touching on real life shit.. but on the album it wasnt to be found. That track with Natalie is coo.. ive just started to get past the weird ass beat.. To me there wasnt nothing "REVENGE" album the album.. more like The Sound of disapointment.. 3/5 :dead:
