Unfortunately this album didn't have the replay value of "Compton" to me. It's better than the "The Contract EP", though. But for a Dre/Snoop Reunion album, I excepted more to be honest. It's a solid album, well executed, but nothing groundbreaking. 7/10 at max.

This is a fair and well argued criticism.

I do think that Dre had too much control over the direction of this project and as i've said before has overthought things.
I also think that Snoop's biggest USP is his charisma and it felt that he was restrained. We saw parts of it on Pressure and Thank You where he felt his natural self.
I do think Dre needs to relax and just vibe in the studio, have fun and go with the flow. At the moment, everything seems a bit too calculated and mechanical.
Technically the mixing/engineering though, it's on another level. Other albums, the production sounds so flat.

I personally love the album and is still in heavy rotation

Snoop was not Snoop on this album. he felt contained just to sound good on the mic. most of the album was just too structured, seemed like they went in to do a job, and move on. There had to be something going on behind the scenes for them not to push the Jelly Roll track as a single
