TPAB is garbage sans a few songs, this isn't an argument I'm having with anyone

Finally bought the album yesterday.
This album is way melo except for Change, Immortal, a couple others.
She's mine, For your eyes, she's mine pt 2, Deja vu, etc, are ehhh..
Album almost made me get into a car crash with merging in too early, Lol, it just so melo that it set my mood that way.
Immortal is my favorite, Change is dope...
But this is definitely a different tone from J Cole. It's not what I would expect and I definitely expected more lyrical exercise.
I get a feeling of Kendrick Lamar influences in this album. I appreciate the album even more after watching "EYEZ" on youtube but at the end, it doesn't WOW me like how TPAB did, but that's because they are on different levels as mentioned above. FYEO lacked that substance. I believe Born Sinner, out of all albums, certainly has the most substance and most quality within it.

It's always funny to me when dudes try to tell you why YOU don't like something.
The music on this album is lacking. Period. Nothing else to it. This is classic boring *** J Cole that I couldn't really get into for years. Then when FHD dropped I became a fan cuz finally made a album that was good and kept your attention from beginning to end. Then he drops this?
I'm actually willing to kinda give it a pass cuz it's a real personal album. It sounds like it's for his girl and daughters ears only. I get it but I'm not gon act like this album ain't boring as a MFer. Beats and his rapping.

And once again. Thank you. I cant believe this statement has repeated.

to answer your question, no i dont but i highly doubt that woulda changed my mind on this album since my problem with it is MUSICALLY. Not the message & concept

He compared the reactions to the albums, not the albums themselves

dat dude chris
Im not refuting that the album isnt bumping, that it lacks the bounce and uptempo that FHD had. Thats clear as night and day. Its obvious that this album is lacking the type of songs that made some of yall fans, that cannot be argued IMO
I am more so challenging the statement that boring=bad.
When you guys say something is boring, I see yall as saying its bad, that its a failure. Sooo because you dont care for the pace of the album, does that make it bad?
I see a dark and slow album. You guys see a boring and wack one... but you say you are attributing that to the music tho right, not the content?
Trust me I get it... its pretty easy to not be a fan of this album.

Anyone who calls TPAB garbage never listened to the album PERIOD.
That's easily the best album in the past 10 years.
Not one single list you find online from 2015 best albums of the year throughout all genres will have TPAB in any place besides #1. That's saying something.
Take time and actually listen to the album.

^^and that its totally understandable. I rocked with those records too. Caged bird got one of Cole's hardest verses on there hands down...
For me tho... I can still rock with an album, if its good, without those type of tracks being present. And Im thinking the reason I am able to do that with this album, is maybe because of where I am at personally for sure and that I listen to other genres of music that some may consider "boring".
and again we could be in the same stage in life and still not agree on this album because of a number of reasons. I wouldnt recommend this album to some of my closet friends cuz I know they wouldnt get jiggy with it

This album was alright. It certainly wasn't trash or bad by any means.
Like the rest of ya'll, I got in my feels listening to the she's mine tracks. The problem is there isn't any standout tracks to me to make me want to revisit and replay. So with that said, its not on the level of FHD. The production on this isn't as lively as it was before. So with his delivery mixed with the almost too laid back vibe from the beat, I was checkin' to make sure I wasn't falling asleep between tracks.
Where he really caught me was his content. He spoke on a lot in 10 songs. That's what you expect from Cole though.
