    Yea this is his worst album to me. That’s not saying much because I still find it good, but I’d comfortably put it last. It’s a little messy, and I find a lot of the beat selection questionable. And of course like with any kendrick product, I find his vocals in some spots to be super annoying. Father Time and We Cry Together are my only takeaways here. We Cry is 10/10

    I was BUMPING we cry together and pulled up next to someone at a red light and they weren’t sure how to react. Just mad “f--- you! f--- you” blaring at them

    Don’t want to be that guy, but this album just makes me appreciate d--- so much more. I wasn’t real hot on d--- when it came out, but still found myself playing it fairly often, and had the urge too. This album? It’s been less than 48 hours and I have almost no desire to go back and listen. There’s some good moments and songs, and it’s not ‘bad’ per say, but it just isn’t doing it for me at all. It just lacks something.

    Went back to d--- and the difference in quality is quite obvious …TPAB? Don’t even get me started. That album is cemented top 10 of all time.

    The albums been out for less than 48 hours. People hailing it as a classic or claiming it to be the worst thing they've ever heard are hilarious

    48 hours is enough to form an opinion. It’s defo not a classic and it’s far from the worst album ever.

    It’s just…meh. And for a Kendrick album, that’s a problem. I mean, Silent Hill is straight trash

    Silent Hill one of the best songs on the album

    I sat here for 10 minutes trying to figure out why the f--- you just randomly brought up the Silent Hill franchise.

    This album really isn't hitting for me that hard ig

    Actually tho WLR is similar to this album in a way in that the aesthetic will be offputting to people not on board with it or open to it already. But I get why they're not for everyone

    Savior still doesn't do much for me after multiple listens. Think it's the weakest song on here

    I don't like Silent Hill. I turn off Silent Hill when it comes on like, huh

    Tracks I like so far are N95, Rich Spirit, Count Me Out, and Savior

    d--- is far more superior imo

    "Sorry I didn't save the world my friend, I was too busy building mine again" is one of my favorite lines on the whole project. Then him closing with I choose me, I'm sorry..
    We're not getting another Kendrick album for a long time lol

    "Sorry I didn't save the world my friend, I was too busy building mine again" is one of my least favorite lines on the whole project. Then him closing with I choose me, is pretty selfish...
    We need another Kendrick album soon lol

    Sounds like s---. Will still be lauded.

    But clearly still the worst of his albums.

    No matter what you think of the album, i hope we can all agree that Mother I Sober is one of Kendrick’s best tracks
