    So as people know, I'm a big mayday /wrek fan. Got through my first listen of into the further and by far it's amazing. Don't know if it is at the level of the war within but confirmed to me that wrek is way above bernz level of mc.

    Loved how the intro and further and how it linked directly with the war within. Further namwd every song in the war within I think.

    However, further was dissapointing and the album started of eh. But from float it went in.

    First listen best tracks: Float, knuckle dragging and only one.
    Still not feeling unknown number as much Oh well
    Tome to listen again

    Knuckle dragging and only one are amazing. Unknown number grows on you! Love the album. Maybe not as aggressive and lyrically as the war within but way more melodic

    Its a grower. But hundred percent agree with the fact that the war within is way better

    Meh.

    Might be more disappointed with this than Dominion because I had high expectations for this...

    This is better than Dominion for sure but this is also average as f---. Only a few songs stand out. Surprised Wrek didn't come through, especially since he's had what 3 years since his last?

    But yeah, this isn't even close to The War Within

    Another disappointing Strange release...Have no expectations for anyone on the roster now other than Rittz because he drops nothing but gold.

    Production once again...so average. Not a lot of memorable verses from Wrek, which is weird. Some good hooks, some average ones.

    It's a solid album and it might grow on me and I'll feel stupid for saying I was disappointed. I guess I just had too high of expectations after The War Within.

    Damnit Strange Music...letting me down the last few years. I expect greatness!

    The song further is 10/10. It's funny because it feels like an extension of war within. It would have fit right in. Knuckle dragging is the other song I enjoy. This album just feels bland. Lots of slow production, I feel like it's really lacking the energy on both production and flow.

    I like Into The Further more than The War Within overall as a whole album.
    It ain't got hit songs like Anxiety Attacks and Rise though.

    So need mayday album in August. Maybe that's why into the further wasn't as great. Hopefully search party is as good as what I expect

    I enjoy Knuckle Dragging but the album overall was pretty underwhelming. Still looking forward to the Mayday album though.
    Eat 2 was sick, and I'm looking forward to stevie's album

    I really feel like the constant touring is a double edged sword for Strange. On one hand, it's what keeps the artists paid. On the other hand, it keeps them so busy that their recorded material (which, face it, doesn't pay them hardly anything due to streaming nowadays) really suffers. It might seem like somebody like Wrek has had 3 years to do a new album, but between being constantly on the road, and having to work on Mursday, Mayday, Solo stuff, and other production duties, there is really no time to sit back and get creative anymore.

    Once tech officially stops making music I feel like Strange music will tank music wise. Now hear me out, strange music will still be around but I think it'll be less about music and more about business stuff (merch, drinks, car washes, property, etc) tech pretty much sucks now and is no longer the best act on Strange. When he is done I can see a lot of artists leaving, if not even before then. But by that time I'm sure I won't even listen to Strange anymore. Not a fan of the direction and quality of music. TDE seems like the label doing it correctly right now. Lots of quality music and it comes out at a steady enough rate.

    I think that Dominion is horrible mainly because of fact that Tech allowed his artists to offer him beats and ideas for that project.

    Love JL. I can see how people feel like whatever just another fast rapper but he can spit. I still think he had the show stealing best verse of The Storm on Need Jesus. Such a dope verse and track honestly.
