That sort of shit seems to happen with 56k, at home using Freeserve the best I can connect at is 38k, when I use the same laptop and same modem at uni, this time on NTL I get a connection of 52k.

Yeah it does seem to be a pretty unreliable server. Don't know if I can just leave it downloading whilst I sleep, cause I have a feeling its gonna fuck up and need restarting like five mins after I fall asleep.

Yeah I'm using Gozilla, so at least I don't have to start over everytime, but I still can't just leave my comp on while I sleep because if it fucks up, I have to quit Gozilla, load it back up again and then resume it, cause for some reason just straight setting it to auto retry isn't working with this server.

Woke up to this download finished this morning. Having a quick listen now and this sounds like fire so far. I think this is gonna be a better album than Quality by the sound of it. Gonna burn it to cd in a minute, and then probably listen to it all day, so I'll give a more detailed breakdown at the end.

Damn, even Killer Mike sounds pretty dope on here.

Ok, I've listened to it through a couple of times now, and its still sounding tight. There are a few strange tracks that I think will take some getting used to, but overall it seems a very consistant and dope album. And Talib still bringing the dope lines:

If skill sold, then truth be told i'd probably be/
just as rich and famous as jay-z/

Plus a Black Star reunion track.

I think that with some tweaking of a few tracks, and prehaps a couple of new ones this album will definitely be better than Quality, although I still don't think its gonna touch the Reflection Eternal album.

We have to remember that this is a very early leak, and most of these tracks probably aren't mastered or in some cases even fully mixed. Considering this, so far its sounding pretty dope.

its unmastered and not fully mixed... and kweli's less than happy about the leak... according to him its far from the finished product... i guess we'll see.  there's some dope songs... "Lonely People" is probably my favorite.
