I'll probably get it sometime later this week.  The tracklist doesn't really impress me though, especially when looking at the one that was on the Advance.  I have a feeling that the Advance will be better than the retail album.

I picked it up yesterday! Even tho I downloaded it, so I knew what I was buyin b4 I bought it! But in comparison to "Quality" its not as good! Tho there r a few tracks that have been on repeat! Overall good album but not classic material!

It was aight but Hi-Tek's production saved it.  His beats were dope as hell

Well I liked it, but the advance was still better.   Most of the new tracks are underwhelming and some of the tracks from the advance such as the ones with Common and John Legend have been strangely mixed. 

Definitiely a step down from "Quality" though.  Having only one Kanye produced song definitely didn't help him either.  That combo is what made "Quality" such a great album.

It's better than most out right now that I can think of. The single is hot no matter what anyone says. It's no Get By, but it's still good.

shit....I mean, I liked it, I couldn't possibly say I hate it onlly cause I was disapointed in comparison to Quallity....The advance version is better (although something is kinda wrong with the sound quallity), Plus I think I'd rather listen to The Beautifull Mix ,I still got  Quallity in full rotation along with Blackstar and "train of thought"....

okay, i bought it a few hours ago and i've listened to it the whole way through once now. I had to vote 'disappointed'...i don't hate it or think it's a bad album at all but Kweli really failed to live up to my hopes and his potential IMO...many tracks kinda lack a unique sound, there's no "Get By"'s and "Good To You"'s for me on this one...the advance was at least as good ("Supreme", "Lonely People" >:() and i hoped he'd improve it a lil. so yeah, after all i'm a bit disappointed
