COMPTON VS. MISSIONARY ... WHICH DO YOU PREFER?
Matty:
as much as I don't enjoy Compton on the whole it's still better than Missionary.

casablanco seemed ok ... sounded good enough .. but nothing mind blowing like your typical dre level mix/master

haha yes i remember that! When the songs came out and were mixed so poorly, people were saying "That's Dre's brilliance, the theme of the game is they were stolen demos, so he purposely left them poorly mastered and unfinished to fit the theme of the game, the man is a genius" And of course that wasn't the case at all.

If only Missionary's production was handled by Death Row rather than ICU, imagine if Dre was involved in IZ IT A CRIME or Sophisticated Crippin (which shits on 3/4 of Missionary)
PLANT:
Both albums have about 5-6 tracks I like and the rest is disappointing to me now. I can’t really say I prefer one or the other. I own both on vinyl and the one thing I will say is Missionary definitely sounds better on record than it does on DSP sonically.
I’m interested in what Dre does next.
heyyou:
Missionary is better imo - Im listening to it reguarly along with Is it a crime,
I liked Compton, but I have to be in a certain mood to listen to it.
The production is quite busy and brash at times with lots going on and choppy effects, so it's not an 'easy' listening experience.
Missionary has more traditional drum pattens and production that's that's more natural to the ear.
The raps on Missionary I find much much better. Like many, I don't like Dre's modern flow and cadence.
Snoop hasn't sounded this good in a good while and it carried through on 'Is it a crime' (which the first 5/6 songs were dope).
I think that the fact Missionary was a much shorter album really worked in it's favour.
I agree with the comments that the production on both albums are a bit bright/cold and lack warmth, bass and melodies.
