Yeah, this isn't really doing it for me. 2, 5 and 6 are pretty cool but that's it. Nothing on here really excites me in the slightest. It's pretty much a whole album of the side of Kendrick that I don't care about. My favorite part is CeeLo on track 6.

New Kendrick!
Two listens in, sounds pretty good. Can't wait for this album!!!
This guy is so good. I've been wearing this one out all day today.

I could see Kendrick's voice grating on some, but I love it and think it's actually a lot more dynamic than most people give it credit for.

When he goes really far off course (see: "For Free?"), he loses me, otherwise I totally agree.

I'm just referring to the occasional quality of Kendrick's voice, not the music overall -- he has this really exaggerated, cartoon-ish mode he goes into every once in a while that's just like nails on a chalkboard to me. It's rare (really, "For Free" is the only example I can think of off the top of my head), and generally I agree that his voice is totally flexible and elastic and stronger for its range of expression.

Okay, I tend to be a Kendrick skeptic, but I absolutely fucking adore that song and video.

Glad you're digging it. He's an American treasure if you ask me.

Were you at his Austin City Limits performance? I swear I see a dude who looks like you in the crowd.
