Now that I've given it a better listen in the car, it's actually not that bad. I only made it to track 12 before I reached my destination but being able to listen to it without gaf's bitchy little girl voice influencing me and with some decent subs made a big difference.
The only negatives I found were 1. A lack of energy production wise in some of the tracks. They are still great beats, just not yelawolf beats I've come to expect.
2. The hooks in the middle chunk range from tolerable to crimes against humanity. A lot of the songs in that section are actually pretty damn good, but the generic female with an average voice singing the hook ruins the fuck out of the enjoyment.
1. radioactive intro : Good intro, nice little verse and a decent low key beat but probably will get skipped some. 3/5
2. get away : Not feeling shawty or mystikals verses at all, but the beat is good 3/5
3. Lets roll : Maybe the fact it doesn't sound like kid rock is why I actually like the hook. Good song, but this is the third song in a row that didn't hit me in the face with the yela energy 3.5/5
4. Hard White : heard it long ago but I still love this track. Heres that energy I was looking for. 5/5
5. Growing up the gutter : Just a solid song, nothing remarkable but enjoyable 3.5/5
6. Throw it up : again, heard it before, still like it, but I was hoping for a beat with more energy. But regardless, good song. 4/5
7. Good girl : For what is is, it's a good track. I like the beat, the hook is stupid but for a song about girls meant to make them buy the album, it's not half bad. 3/5
8. Made in the USA : Beat is great, verses are great, hook is fucking horrible. This would be a 4/5 song if the hook didn't mangle it. 2.5/5
9. Animal : I can see why some people are flipping over this track. Personaly I love the beat, but Im a sucker for a good electrohiphop type beat. Lots of energy, yela comes correct. It's the hook once again that is the issue. Parts of it actually sound almost decent, but the entire hook is just cringe worthy as a whole. 3.5/5
10. The Hardest Love song : Great beat, and yes it's another song about girls but the hook is only somewhat shit, it's still listenable. Beat nets it a 4/5
11. Write Your Name : Fuck this shit. I hit skip the second that girl's voice started singing. It fucking pierced into my brain and fucked it with no lube and with no rubber on. Maybe the rest of the song is good but I might never know. 0/5
12. Everything I love the Most : This song is fucking great and fuck you if you disagree. Reminds me of being on a my grandparents farm in Georgia in the summer. Just some feel good southern shit. 4.5/5
Looking forward to hearing the rest on my way home. I expect all those scores to drop or rise by .5 over the next week.
Oh and yes I'm buying the album.
