Hope he takes it back to the "Be", "Finding Forever", and "The Dreamer/Believer" sound. I wasn't feeling "Nobody Smiling" at all. From the couple of preview tracks I've heard, it sound promising.

Just bought the CD today...after a few spins, it's not bad. Kind of short, too many interludes, alot of slower songs. But much better than Nobody's Smiling.....i'd probably rank it 4th in his recent releases:
1. Be
2. Finding Forever
3. Dreamer/Believer
4. Black America Again
5. Nobody Smiling
6. UMC
Kind of reminds me of TPAB in a way, some of the instrumentals...not nearly as good, although maybe it will grow on me....just doesn't seem a musical as some of his other albums.

Like Water For Chocolate doesn't make your top 5 Common albums?
This album has grown on me. 8.5/10. Good listenability all the way through and Common is on top of his game lyrically.
I'd rank top 5 Common albums as:
1. Like Water For Chocolate
2. Be
3. Finding Forever
4. Resurrection
5. One Day It'll All Make Sense/Black America Again-It's a tie right now.

8. Pyramids

I was talking about his RECENT releases as I said in my post. I wasn't ranking his entire catalogue. Sorry for the confusion, of course LWFC is better than this. And UMC wouldn't be anywhere near the top of that list :)
