There's a handful of stand out tracks on here that really show why I think dude is top 5 in the game right now and one of the most talented MC's I ever heard. The albums biggest problem is the beats. They're so hard to digest, its annoying. Seriously, the production could've been 10 times better than this and it hurts the album a lot. Then again, it was just a first listen and I can name dozens of albums that I wasn't feeling at first and now Love. I'll give this another spin and re-post. In the end, I'm hoping Joey sells what he cans. I'd really like to see dude succeed in this game, he deserves it.

Most people (and Budden himself) said this is a album that grows on u...
you really gotta give it some more spins....i thought that a little bit at first too, but after i got into it, i'm really liking pretty muchevery song now, with the exception of 1-2. At first "Now I Lay" was my favorite joint but now "Do Tell" and "Angel in my life"have grown on me very much recently. I think it's a great album that takes a few listenings to get "into" it.Originally Posted by visualmusiC

The only song I'm not feelin a lot is "If I gotta go", otherwise i can blast this album straight through easily. Overall I think it's a solid effort but gotta give it some time before I compare it to his other albums.

Exactly how I feel.Originally Posted by dizmthagreat
Expected alot more from this album. Its not bad, but its not good either.
But it seems like Joe will be doing better than expected numbers with all of the grass roots support that hes been getting. Thats a great thing for him and for Hip-Hop.
I was thinking that anything over 10,000 was a good look for dude considering the label he's on, his fanbase being about 90% internet savvy, etc...but ifhe puts up the numbers its looking like he could put up for somebody in his position (his album was in the top 20 up until yesterday), it prolly could havesome type of effect, open a few eyes...
edit, just checked, yea boi dropped, still gonna turn out to be bignumber considering his label prolly aint press more than 100K...
