Final analysis on my first listen:
Like it a lot. The earlier tracks were really good, but I wasn't really allowing myself to enjoy it as much as I should because I was looking too hard for those stand out tracks, rather than letting them come to me (which they eventually did in Delusional and So Lonely). Dunno where I'd place this against Tech's other albums, gotta give it a few more listens before I can properly rank it. Wish there were fewer guest spots, but most of the guests came correct so I can't really complain too much. I'm really excited to give this another listen where I'm not trying to search for things in the music, gotta let it come to me next listen. All of that being said, this is definitely better than most of the stuff out there these days. Glad I preordered it. Good job, Tech.
edit: oh, and sign me up for some more hooks like what we got on this album. I love Kaliko and I've never had an issue with Kaliko on the hooks by any means, but I loved the sound on the hooks here first listen
