I haven't seen the vinyl/cd packaging myself, but i've heard that somewhere it's printed that this is "part 1 of the best years of lives trilogy".



something to that effect at least.

After listening to this a couple more times I have come to the conclusion that its their worst album.



Sat 2 >> Sat 3 > Sat 1 > This



Feel like they substituted the cohesion and tight songwriting of the Saturation trilogy to make something a little more out there this time around, which is respectable, but those two traits are what made me love them so much and it's just not here imo. These songs just sound so fractured. The lack of hooks coupled with the everchanging production and constant in-and-out of different members with no rhyme or reason makes this kind of a headache to listen to imo, and while there are plenty of beautiful moments, there is hardly any consistency from song to song and even from moment to moment.



And I know I've said otherwise in other threads, but i've changed my mind. bearface rapping and especially Joba rapping more does not make up for Ameer's absence. Most of these songs are way too sappy for their own good and lack any teeth, in spite what Joba screaming over those clipping-esque sine waves might make you think.

Id say this is about Sat 1 level, not as good as 2 or 3



None of these songs are as good as Heat tho





Idk, I'd imagine that if all the other members were on their A-game, Ameer wouldn't be missed at all but you can tell that all the drama fucked up their formula pretty bad



Merlin barely has a memorable appearance outside of the first song and Dom and Kevin and Matt are all very fine on every verse they show up on, but they don't have too many killer verses



Bearface is pretty dope whenever he shows up, his voice effects are always a welcome switch-up, and Joba's verses are always memorable for better or for worse. Joba goes back and forth from being incredible and annoying throughout this whole album

Ive mentioned this like four hundred times already but I still can't stop thinking about how fucking awesome that song they teased on IG half a year ago was



OH YOUR UNCLE A RAPPER? IS HE LIL UZI VERT?



Ameer's verses were killer on that song and Ready for War too

Excited to listen to this, but doubtful it will top Sat 1 based on what i've heard of it so far.

Whether or not he was a good rapper doesn’t change the fact that a lot of people liked what he did on SAT.
