Every song on this album is gold. Most albums have that one song that you just can't skip, that's all of them for me. Favorites though would be Lazy Eye and Get Out the Car
This was AESOPS easiest album to understand by far, he didnt do as much esotericism as i like, i love taking my own context of his bars through how ambitious they are. But this album is top 3 for him, and the best production wise for him. You sir shouldnt listen to Aesop if your tastes are stunted towards art-rap. This so far is AOTY, and yes thats my opinion, but look at what has been released so far, and then even watch the videos he has released for this album, pure art and pure creativity. I think you pretty wrong on multiple accounts about this album.
Loved the review. About being one the best of the year or just a great album, I don't know yet. I tend to the more than great, but it's because I can relate a lot with some emotions that this album brings.
For me, Aesop's "Impossible Kid" was the best album of the last year and has ascended into Aesop Rock's top five with well-nigh nauseating haste. "Float" is both my most beloved Aesop Rock album and my favorite album of all-time. "Labor Days" would be second followed by "Fast Cars" followed by, I believe, "The Impossible Kid." I would place either: "None Shall Pass," "Appleseed," or "Hokey Fright" at number five, though it would obviously be a rather onerous decision. Those ranking are base on a mixture of enjoyment, nostalgia, and appreciation. I wouldn't hesitate to proclaim Impossible his best lyrical and conceptual project to date. The album is expertly crafted and boundlessly beautiful from commencement to conclusion. There is no deficient track amidst the amalgamation of mellifluence, magniloquence, and mesmerism nor is there fragility found within "Impossible's" lyrical contrivance. I've always felt that, though sparsely seasoned, Aes is an epicure extraordinaire where topicality is served and this album is a feast for thematic faculty. I feel I know Aesop as Ian inappreciably more-so after silently sharing an hour-long therapy session. Perhaps it's because I'm 36-years-young and feel rather relative to Aesop in my immediate worldview, local view, and inner-view, or perhaps it's the exquisitely inerrant timing of "Impossible's" release, but the culmination, for me, is an intimate experiential exposition and a personalized masterpiece. Fourteen prodigious, significant, and essential albums in a fecund and prolific twenty-year career with nary a lapse, gaffe, or disappointment must a legend make, and who better to script legendary memoirs than the Author himself. Perhaps I'm putting too much emphasis on the autobiographic, but I felt such closeness psychologically, philosophically, and situationally, catharsis wouldn't be an exaggeration. "Lazy Day" is my favorite track, and along with "Shrunk" and "Kirby" my most relatable. "Lotta Years" and "Blood Sandwich" are the most approachable and have been generous segue's from A$op Rocky to Aesop Rock once administered to bewildered neophyte eardrums. Aesop Rock's continuity is impressive and, were I religious, I'd hope, wish, and pray that he has yet to reach the half way count along the landscape of his opulent and venerable discography. I've never found Aes to be unapproachable nor too symbolic, nonsequitur, phantasmagorical, surreal, or utopian, on the contrary, I tend to find his stream of consciousness rather hospitable and inviting; perhaps a tad whimsical with his minutiae but that's to be expected in such a dreamy milieu. I find his phrasing a cozy challenge, a welcome feast for a lyrical gourmand long since famished, an exercise in logophilic adroitness, a surfeit of head-nods and "god damn"'s. And when the adventure end pontification arises, "did I catch every allusion? Every reference? Every Witticism? Did I miss anything? Am I interpreting adeptly? Am I delving too deep, adding too much, personalizing? Is Aes our generations Faulkner? How is the man not outselling mumble trap rapper? Is Aesop Rock obviously and unquestionably the Goat?" Anywho, thank you for taking the time to read this, I'm aware that my ramblings can be quite lengthy and rather hefty, especially when I'm excited about a favored subject. And not to amplify any further, but I must add that I am tone deaf which makes lyricism the most integral aspect of an album, and instrumentation or production secondary by default. Let me conclude by stating that I am indeed aware that the usage of Italics is the proper way to grammatically transcribe album titles and that parenthesis is attributed to song titles, however, I lack the ability to italicize with my keyboard and am hampered by my limited computer expertise, so please, forgive me... Pece and love and be safe all...
Damn, another record I have to check out I guess. Also, WHERE IS THE IGGY POP REVIEW. DO YOU WANNA HAVE A REPEAT OF HOW LATE YOU WERE TO JULIA HOLTER???????
Can't wait for your 7/27 review when we already know that you'll be hating on it just because it's fifth harmony & you can't stand confident & strong women ;)
I think it's unfair to assume that's why he doesn't like fifth harmony.Maybe it's because he thinks they don't make good music.It has nothing to do with the actual members of fifth harmony and their femininity
He likes Little Mix. They are making the same music as Fifth Harmony. I feel like he is a mixer and usually mixers hate fifth harmony...but yeah we'll see about his review.
why would someone poison themselves with the religious practice of learning new words habitually maybe he just has a strong literature background I actually don't mind it not only do you get to listen to an album but you get a glimpse of what it's like to not understand something that experience is something that will progress due to curiosity many English neat freaks and sophisticated people in general bought this album heck I even did and his first week sells are higher than they've ever been basically what I'm saying is in no way shape or form is he trying to be different we are all the same the only thing that separates me and you from Aesop is his will to follow his dream...
+Cordell W Tru but if I wanted to learn something new I would self educate read a book I don't need a rapper to make me think a Tru genius knows how to explain something in the simplest forms not using big words look at Neil Tyson one of the big reasons he's so famous is because he knows how to explain some of the most complex subject and simplify it and make it easer to understand
No. He doesn't try. The guy is sumply that intelligent. He uses the words in his every day vocabulary to speak on personal stories and experiences. It's not hard. Maybe you should pick up a dictionary.
Blood Sandwich is probably my favorite Aes song. The lyrics really hit me.
Afro Shinobi for real. Right there with you
Every song on this album is gold. Most albums have that one song that you just can't skip, that's all of them for me. Favorites though would be Lazy Eye and Get Out the Car

Another good album to Aesop Rock's discography
You should review Eyedea's "Many Faces Of Oliver Hart" Album.
max barrera yyesssss pleasseee
His stuff with DJ Abilities is even better imo. FIrst Born, E&A, and By the Throat are all masterpieces.
Kirby not in best tracks.... Dissapointing

Aesop Rock is pretty cool but I feel like he tries to hard be lyrical and seem different but I still fuck with him
why would someone poison themselves with the religious practice of learning new words habitually
maybe he just has a strong literature background I actually don't mind it not only do you get to listen to an album but you get a glimpse of what it's like to not understand something that experience is something that will progress due to curiosity many English neat freaks and sophisticated people in general bought this album heck I even did and his first week sells are higher than they've ever been

+Brian Newlin He doesn't "try" to be lyrical. That's always been his style every since he came out.
No. He doesn't try. The guy is sumply that intelligent. He uses the words in his every day vocabulary to speak on personal stories and experiences. It's not hard. Maybe you should pick up a dictionary.
Finally thanks for the backup 😁😁😁
