Full of energy and compassion!

That sounds like such an understatement for a title but this album is just that! So many great song's & collaborations. My personal favorite is 1984, it just has an addicting beat & the lyrics are incredible! This is a must have Mackelmore album.

For iTunes banning Tyson James. Macklemore is a Marxist too, so one star for him.

Macklemore is a victim of his own success, his only wrongdoing is being so good as a duo with Ryan Lewis that his songs were overplayed into oblivion, and his fan base became somewhat annoying and a turn off to a lot of people. And a lot of his old fans were bothered by his newfound “mainstream” success. I think even Macklemore was bothered by it. In many ways since the heist, he’s kinda burned down what he built by disappearing, or releasing controversial songs calling out the music industry. Like other objectively good, and popular bands — hipsters and certain hip hop heads really don’t like Macklemore, because he is too mainstream and is leaning into the pop / rap genre too much. While I agree this album did go a little too Pop (songs like Sorry, Day You Die, No Bad Days, to name a few) They are still good songs, and honestly — I don’t blame him for appealing to the fan base he’s picked up over the years. I just wish he would come out with a full old school rap album to raise his image a bit, and to silence a few of his haters. Overall, I found this album to be enjoyable. A few stand outs were “Chant, Gods Will, I know, heroes, grime, tail lights, 1984, and Faithful”

Well done Benjy this is a pretty awesome album! It starts to get reallyyyyy good after track 4!

The songs Chant, Grime, and Tears are my fav. I appreciate the story telling with the appearance of being solely commercial. The songs, besides the three I named are not my preference.

Macklemore is back.

Love it

He really came back to his roots, love the album

Don’t even know why you try.
