Reflection Eternal "Revolutions Per Minute" Discussion Thread

Dope album, but I can't help to think that the 3-4 freshest tracks has been out for months..

I also have a feeling that this album will be a grower. 

[Action!]

I got half way through and kind of lost interest.  I'll peep the second half later.

This album is quality for sure and its very fresh. More u bump it more u like it.

Playing " Got Work" on repeat, sub-woofer makin neighbors go mad

[Matty]

straight up quality here

Lovin' it. "In This World" is still my fav. one (even though it's been out for a while). Nice vibe throughout the whole album.

So I'm the only who thinks that Hi-Tek was really weak on this one ? His beats are very bland, without any bounce or funk, especially compared to the first album. I only liked 5 or 6 beats. Ballad Of The Black Gold is amazing though, that's the type of stuff I expected.

[Matty]

this is even more mellow than your average hi-tek material, but perfect for chilling and having on in the background.

think my favourite is still the original hi-teknology.

After some listens I will have to agree.. not plain weak, but hit or miss..
I expected some more bangers, I don't mind a smooth mellow beat, but some of these tracks are just understated/underproduced..

I had to remove the annoying intro for "Midnight Hour" and also the geek at the end.. track is 10 times better now.

Copped it hard copy and I like the album. Definitely a good album.

[Jimmy H.]

I blind bought it yesterday and been bumping it in my truck and I have to say this is what hip-hop should be. I love this record.

[TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96']

I'm going to hold off on this album as long as possible.  We've had no good new albums released in a long time, and now we get 2 on the same day.  So for now just bumping Nas and Marley but I'm reading everyone's reviews
