i love miley. i love her sound, her rasp, her vocal range, etc. but this album just didn’t do it for me ? for starters i feel like this project was rushed for whatever reason…on top of that the marketing around it - when you drop "bass persuades" as your single and make it the title of the album i was thinking she’d have some super fun dance / pop tracks on here but it was more ballad focused. not saying everything had to be upbeat but outside of bass persuades itself …nothing else was really fun and upbeat. i thought the songs would be about having fun and being free, dancing, letting loose, etc. because that’s how it was marketed on socials but it was more love song centric. not a bad thing just an observation. though the album got a lot of backlash saying it was bland and all i do have to acknowledge the pros:
- bass persuades is fun and upbeat
- let's get married is a sweet love song
- aftermath has a good juxtaposition between the vocals and the UK garage house type beat
- REDLIGHTS has a cool discoish vibe to the track

giving it a 2.5 given the pros listed above but couldn't rate it much higher because it did feel a bit rushed to me personally, and i just don't see myself revisiting this album much.

One of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Two different styles merging together like the yin and yang to morph into what would become the golden standard for artist that would follow years later.

Big Boi bobs and weaves between flows so effortlessly and pieces together words and metaphors in the most clever way possible. Andre’s introspection and off kilter flows is refreshing and offers something completely different from what you hear from Big Boi.

The way they experiment between flows and their voices while keeping up with incredible production is what makes this stand out. Bass heavy hip hop at its core mixed with funky moments that defined the sound for an entire region. Truly one of, if not the greatest hip hop group of all time. This is a must listen and essential album, truly timeless.

The highlight of the album for me is Chonkyfire, in the midst of the praise that west coast and east coast music were receiving during the time of this release, the south was written off and not taken seriously. All the angst and ambition poured into the outro of the album, with production that matched those emotions. The south really had something to say.

This song is so nostalgic. It came on shuffle and I almost forgot how much I love it.

Never skip this one. Instrumentals are so good, it hooks u from the start. Vocals are so effortless. 10/10

Pop perfection & the modern male pop bible. At no time on the first listen could you predict what the next track would sound like.

AMAZING
