    Either way is fine, but you can't lose either way.

    this album is a masterpiece in every way, tops circles for me as album of the year (so far)

    I'm late to this thread but I'm a huge Lloyd Banks fan. To me, he‘s one of the absolute GOATS in music history.

    I'd say his best albums are Rotten Apple and Hunger For More 2. I think I've officially put Hunger For More at 1, but The Course of the inevitable is so d--- good.

    Someone said that Rotten Apple is his weakest and I really disagree. I actually think non of them are weak. Everything from him is great. He‘s a musical prodigy. From his fitness work (he plays with a lot of women hearts) to his lyrics, to his flow. He’s an absolute genius. And his personality is the complete same of his music. He is very sexy and brutal.

    I highly recommend The Course of the inevitable as the starting album to listen to. It's his newest album. Even though it's not as sexy as Rotten Apple, it still has insanely good production and I think it might have better lyrics than that. I think the album completely picks up by song 1 (Propane). Tracks 1-18 are so ridiculously good.

    Anyways, I realized I never posted about The Course of the inevitable , and felt I needed to. Been a Lloyd Banks fan for over 666 years.

    that pitchfork review is so lazy lol
    the album is so much more than a post-me too record against "toxic masculinity" ; it's personal, powerful and musically very, very inventive in lots of ways that a music writer should try to explain and put in perspective

    Didn't think she could have topped The Idler Wheel, this was truly a phenomenal experience!

    Gonna sit with it longer before I say something even more magnanimous, but it's practically the album Fiona Apple was destined to make at some point in her lifetime.

    Finally listened to this, and yeah it's really good. Surprising sounds and melodies, and probably golden replay value. "Rack of His" is quite the masterpiece.

    I thought the first few posts were trolling at first...mf’ing Fiona? I haven’t heard her name in years. Hype to give a spin

    d--- Fiona came with bars this time smhhhh

    her discography is good enough that I don’t really think there’s a wrong answer. I’d say avoid Extraordinary Machine as an entry point because it’s probably her weakest (but still good)

    People been saying this is maybe the best album in a decade or so—only Fiona Apple I've heard is Tidal—should I dive right into the new one right away or go chronologically? Or is the there a better starting point?

    Was thinkin bout going straight into the new one, then going back chronologically from the beginning.
