Hoping for good things here. Paak has made some great material and under Aftermath, the creative and sonic quality continues to rise. Looking forward to this.

I actually agree with you. That fellow is a much better singer than rapper.

Aftermath Records is listed as one of the record labels, so Anderson never left? :o

this project is sounding seriously good! 8) anyone remember that photo ages ago with Dre & Bootsy? somehow i think Dre is involved, there's the .Paak connection and Bootsy mentioned Dre when posting about it.

Excellent single. The production is exceptional - very melodic. This is what I was hoping for. Bring the real music back. Bootsy is the icing on the cake. Great direction they're taking with this project. I smell Grammy material. Way to go.

Really looking forward to this album. Can't wait.

Just as an aside, I think some of DJ Quik's 90s R&B type production could've really been a chef's kiss on this project. I'm sure it'll be great anyway but I couldn't help thinking about that.

Too slow, melancholic for me. Every song is the same imo.

honestly i didnt expect this. its way above my expectations. dont be surprised if this album takeover the next grammy.

i was thinking these guys are just having fun and making an album for just to satisfy theirself... now i see its not. this album was made to be succesful and get all the music nominations and awards.

i really enjoyed listening each song. im proud of paak.

paak outshines bruno tremendously .. never been a fan of bruno, some of his singing is ok but it’s not as soulful and sometimes comes off as contrived

additionally, i think it’s a bit overproduced like most of bruno’s music

the old school vibe is dope but theres a bit too much goin on and excessive layering of vocals (particularly with bruno)

i prefer a paak solo tbh

like drones from terrace martin.

phuckin high quality MUSIC, but far from rap/hip hop. Thats not bad, a simple fact.

IMO this album is more like a bruno mars feat anderson .paak than a real duo, collab album.

I hear bruno lead the project and .paak is with him, after him. understand what i mean?

Like it, fell it, top 10 material to me over the year!

I dont agree bro, there are a few songs sounds alike ventura vibe. I think paak is leading the project and pulls bruno where the albums vibe is.

Drones has rnb and jazz vibe heavily. Even some rap included.

Silk sonic is based on motown and soul with rnb/pop influenced.

Its nonsense to compare. Different type of genres.

To me silk sonics album is more catchy and very clear about what kind of muic they are doing. Drones sounds more experimental and sounds like terrace is looking for smth.

Both albums are shining anyway. Brilliant projects from West Coast! Proud!

bruno’s vocals are more overpowering and excessively layered

They pulled off a classic.  It will win a Grammy.  It would have been cool to have more songs on the album, but I would rather have all good songs that fit than filler.

it's well produced but much more of a Motown-Soul sort of jam than anything seriously funky. which is pretty dissapointing, considering they got Bootsy narrating on there and everything.

'Fly As Me' was a good one as it's the only song with any sort of funk.

Yeah this is what I feared after seeing the Smokin Out the Window video cause it was more of the same. I'm sure it's a great album still but I was expecting a little more funk mixed in it too, Bruno Mars his last album was one of my favorite pop/funk albums of the last decade. Waiting to hear the full album once I get it on CD though.

Easily album of the year. I called this Grammy material when the first single dropped 8 months ago. Masterful production, arrangement, song writing, and harmonies. Nice to have some real music back in town 8) Can't wait to see what they do next.
