It's out. Phenomenal first listen reviews on the internet. Listening now. Hyped.

Wonder if I'll switch from Royce to Cole as album of the year in less than two days lol.

Too many albums dropping lately it's hard to keep up with all these releases 
I'll try to listen to it soon as I get a minute

Half way through. Incredible.

& I was never really a Cole fan.

[Chamillitary Click]

Yeah, album of the year. By far. Not even close.

I took time to listen to the entire album and it's really good, I'm not fan of the dude but except for a couple songs it's a great effort.

so eventually dude is actually dropping a worthwhile LP? don't feel like his albums so far were the best reflection of his talent. will have to try and give this one a listen.

yeah I still think Friday Night Lights is his best body of work

I'll share my thoughts on this after I hear it

I don't think it's close.

I thought this album started out real strong (first 3-4 tracks) but really tailed off the last 3-4 tracks.  Sex track was hilarious.  Hooks and samples were on point.  J Cole was trying to do a Mos Def impression or something at the end.  Not a bad album but not in my top 10 for the year.  7/10.

I've never really been that into the guy but decided to check this out, it's definitely dope. Was pleasently surprised.

[Matty]

got chance to listen and it's a very solid album, easily cole's best. the production is well done with a nice laid back sound. lots of live instrumentation, cool bass sounds and a solid mix. most importantly it fits the content. lyrically he's on point with a variety of flows and genuine lyrics. i'd say the first half of the album is the high point and it tails off toward the end with a few weaker joints. but overall very cohesive and feels more like a real 'hip hop' record than a lot of stuff being put out these days.

Dope beats.

Ain't going to lie; this is a dope album. One of the best of 2014, without question.

I lsitened to this album and it's decent at best , the best songs are track #2 and track # 4 . The rest is alright .
