I thought Jon Connor killed it on here, makes me wanna check out his next project cuz I never vibed well with his pre-Aftermath joints due to poor production/direction

bought the cd at Best Buy yesterday for 11.99. Diggin this album even more now with the CD quality in the car on & headphones. Several songs are growing on me after repeated listens.
If this goes platinum, you think Dre might regain his confidence to drop Detox?

85% decline in sales.....that says it all..one of the worst drops ever.
Quote from: Do Buy Albums on August 21, 2015, 02:41:33 PMLooks like the CD dropped today in the UKhttp://store.hmv.com/music/cd/compton?_ga=1.8025204.711516639.1440193136Yep, I bought it yesterday after avoiding it at every cost for the past 2 weeks and listened to it for the first time in one sitting.A few observations at the moment:- This doesn't sound like a Dr. Dre album, let alone a west-coast album. Now that can be interpreted as both good and bad. Good in the sense that it's a modern and new sound for Dre, showing that he's setting a trend yet again for the overall production and direction of albums, but bad in a sense that, going on my first couple of listens, it's almost as if this could be anyone's album due to the sheer number of guests all over the album, popping up every 30 seconds or so which can sound a bit overwhelming at times;- Why has Dr. Dre changed his rapping voice and flow so drastically? Why?! He's been rapping for nearly 30 years now, and was always immediately identifiable on a track owing to his strong, commanding voice, but on here he sounds so different to before that it's almost off-putting. That's not to say he's gotten worse, it's just that he (and a couple of other guests on the album) are trying to sound too much like Kendrick Lamar and it sounds a bit unnatural for them to do this;- There doesn't appear to be any standout tracks on here, in the way that 'G Thang' and 'Still D.R.E' were on the previous efforts. Will listeners be able to recite the lyrics to certain tracks word-for-word in a few years time? Will any of the songs transfer to radio and into popular culture? It feels like there are no quotables on here, no real standout lyrics;- Anderson .Paak, Justus, King Mez and Jon Connor are interchangeable to me and I can't tell them apart. None of them standout and as a result I have little to no interest in hearing any of their previous or forthcoming work;- Some of the guest spots are underwhelming - You would never know that was Cold 187um on 'Loose Cannon's' unless he was listed in the credits, and Snoop's appearance on 'One Shot One Kill' doesn't sound right to me, he should have come more funky and melodic on a Dre album. I'm glad he got to feature on another track;- On a more positive note, I love the different sounds on the album - all the background noises, voice samples, trumpets, weird, distorted voice effects etc. This was to be expected on this album and the production doesn't disappoint. The intro is brilliant too. Also, who would have thought that the two Dre solo cuts on here would be the best two tracks on the album (the particularly strong one being a Detox scrap)?So overall, a slight disappointment for me, but a good listen nonetheless. Now I know I've been very negative and this is going on only having had the album for one day, but I am confident that the album will grow on me and I'm going to continue to listen to it intensely for the next few weeks to pick out new things that it has to offer.
Looks like the CD dropped today in the UKhttp://store.hmv.com/music/cd/compton?_ga=1.8025204.711516639.1440193136
