    imo: this > Grief Pedigree > Days With Dr. Yen Lo > Night's Gambit

    Loved this album. Need to dig a few more spins but the production felt comforting whilst the lyrics isolating. Was perfect to listen in this winter weather over here.

    I've only heard Yen Lo and HKTS so far. Looking forward to GP and NG.

    @WPG is Iron Works worth checking out as well?

    I think Iron Works is an interesting listen insofar as it gives you some insight into how Ka became the Ka we saw in 2012. I'd listen to it after you catch everything else, working backward.

    I loved Grief Pedigree but his other 2 albums were a bit of a letdown to me. Definitely gonna give this a listen

    I have loosely listen to this album twice now but haven't had a good chance to sit down with it and listen intently.

    It sounds great though. It didn't strike me like Grief Pedigree did from the jump, but I'm sure it will be a grower like Dr Yen Lo was.
