Off the top of my head...Im not even sure...Imma take another listen. I think mostly it has to do with flow, style n delivery...there's not anything that stands out as overtly memorable, just bland. I haven't even listened to this album that much honestly.
There's Obviously a certain expectation...we know Tech N9ne for Killing It...But 'It Seems' like you're downplaying your skill...lol does that make sense? That...Or u simply aren't trying that hard haha. Its like there's that extra spark of creativity thats missing.
F U Pay Me, Too Many Girls, Harvey Dent, Far Out...All Go.
Whats funny tho...I don't mind lettin the album play (it has grown on me)...Im just not really 'into' it...its simply just 'okay.' Ya kno?

I'm glad to see XXL "dick sucking" Tech now, but...
why does a Tech/Wayne track have to be rock oriented, as oppose to it being simply a hot track with hotter verses? that's what bothered me about the one Source article (which was good for the most). he's a tight rapper, songwriter, performer. stop putting emphasis on the "rock" shit. 95%, hell 98% of his shit isn't rock! Averaging 1-2 guitar laden cuts per cd doesn't make you an "alternative" artist. It's like people have every excuse to not mention Tech with every other well known rapper.

nesta when the track plays it gives me the flow like I, I, I, AM A GAME GAMER, PLAY THE PART MAJOR HEART BREAKER BRAIN CHANGER, TAKE HER THOUGHTS MAKE HER START THEY INSANE ANGER THEN THEY CAN MARCH HATE CAN SPARK DAMES DAN,DANGER. thats lyrics to me and thats what the track required and i love it the whole cyber sex thing not just a sex song but in a creative way but some say no?
Props for taking time to post in here/voice your opinion.
I've been a big fan since AP and my general thought on GMP was the flow/rhythm/rhyme (yours anyway) was solid throughout, but the beats and lyrics seemed so ticky-tacky and not unique... as someone stated before "nothin really stood out"
I will say this, Far Out slaps. Period. Still bumping that, Harvey Dent, Jumpin Jax and Need More Angels...but not much else from this album. (oh and that bonus track was:ermm: )
Anywho, I'm probably a more biased fan, as I've always enjoyed your "fuck you" music. So maybe this wasn't my cup of tea.
Peace
P.S. - MORE STEVIE STONE PLEASE!

Once again Tech, it's the beat. Nobody is denying your lyrical ability or flow on this album, because to be honest you're on point on this album. So on point that the production values and lack of diversity and uniqueness pale in comparison. It's like hearing a dope flow over a weak beat and hearing you cleverly talk about fucking someone, and then having to hear someone else jump on the same weak beat and not killing it like you do. It's good for the first few times, but it gets old very quick.
I know the album is supposed to be party oriented, but a lot of people simply aren't liking the sound of the album, and it's not just here on the Siccness. I think that's why songs like Harvey Dent and Far Out get more play than others, simply because they're the tracks that sound unique in one way or another.
Oh well, you're probably not gonna read this post anyway, but this is the last time I'll speak on the subject. I just hope that you realize that all the album backlash isn't as simple as dark and light, and that it's more complex than that. The album sounds rushed, most aren't digging it too well, and we're all hoping that the music doesn't stay static. You talk about evolution, but the only thing evolved on this album is your flow and your metaphors. The subject matter has NOT evolved, and we're still very much stuck at the MLK phase of things. Your solos have evolved for the most part, but your collabos haven't.
Don't take the negative reviews on GMP as hate, just look at it as another part of your evolution. A lot of us have been here since day one, and to be honest, Questions sounds a hundred years ahead of it's time compared to Far Out. Good luck on 6's and 7's. Still looking forward to it and hopefully you'll put a lot of time and effort into making this album sound unique, since that's what the Tech N9ne I grew up listening to was known for.
TITANGRAPH FTW.

Those Lyrics R Pretty Dope...N Gamer Is An Interesting Concept...But Damn Is That Beat Boring As Fuck LoL. I Think U Guys Could've Executed That Shit Way Better.
"Next Player, She Says Shes The Best Layer, She Love When Her Breast Bare, With Hot Candle Wax, Thats Rare, Six Hundred Points When She Say Her And Her Girl Is A Sex Pair, That Will Get You An Extra Man, Now We Gamin On That There" -->Same Song But IDK...These Lyrics Don't Seem That Inspired To Me.
I Think Rushin The Album Might Be An Issue...Its Like 'Some Killer, Some Filler.'
BUT...There R MANY Reasons Why I Aint Feelin This Album...Most Of Which Have Nothing To Do With YOUR LYRICS.
