It's a cliché to call someone a wordsmith, but in Kendrick Lamar's case it's the best word that fits. His rhymes are sharp and complex, and the beats are fire.

It starts off really strong, but then kind of peters out at the end. But given the contract of the album, it's quite an amazing feat.

Rated 6/10

Was kind of surprised when the album ended: not much stuck to me, but what was there was pleasant and often a vibe to listen to.

Hey guys? Just because you had a good band sesh with the boys doesn't mean you have to put it on a self-congratulatory album, y'know? You can just enjoy the experience in and of itself.

I liked the songs more that veered into full on rock territory (e.g.: The Na-Na song) than the ones that were pop rock. Still, I have to give props to the songwriting and all the vivid details in there, but other than that it's not a musically interesting album.

The Joshua TreeU2

Rated 6/10

Well, their biggest hits are on there, but the rest of the album is just kind of 'eh'. U2 is decent in what they do, just what they do is not for me.

I like me some gruff FRENCH. I honestly went in thinking I'd not have a good time with it, but I had a blast. The circus, honky tonk music sometimes pulled me out the enjoyment though.

Gonna be honest: I had a shit, dull, and meeting-filled day at work when I listened to this album. I barely retained anything and it didn't improve my mood. So much for the 'Joy Division'.
