Second/Third Impressions - Action Bronson's Mr. Wonderful
So I've given this a few spins since it dropped. Overall the production is solid front to back, very consistently interesting, varied and feels like it all fits as a different piece of the puzzle. It's been a while since Bronson's personality has shone through his work as much as it does in this project in both the lyrics and the songwriting. I think the project does a really good job at kind of carrying you through his larger than life-style with little compromise.
I'm typically super down on how Bronson's projects hold up altogether or on repeated listens but Mr. Wonderful seems to be already getting more burn from me than I expected. Which is weird because he's not really doing much different on the mic. Usually, either he gives too less of a shit when he's got exceptional production (i.e. Rare Chandeliers, Blue Chips 2), or his production is inconsistent or just doesn't stick (i.e. Dr. Lecter). I think it comes together here, and a big reason might be because it's an all-star mix of his collaborators.
Standouts for me are Terry, Actin Crazy, A Light In The Addict, and Easy Rider. That's already more songs than I can name off top than anything else Bronson has ever done. Project is not without it's faults, though, as there are moments that are kind of forgiven by Bronson's goofiness but I'm not ever coming back to like: Falconry (esp. the feature), City Boy Blues (corn on top of cheese on top of corn), Baby Blue (stop this singing slime, also someone stop Chance), It's super hit and miss for me, I don't think there are many "okay" songs, they're either good or bad, but it's overwhelmingly good. I think it works really well together and touches a lot of different places, and that alone is more than I expected from Bronson, so I'm happy with this.
tl;dr:

Dope how does this compare to Beast Mode or Monster ? Loved Beast Mode and I thought Monster was cool.
Somewhere in the middle hype-wise
Looking forward to it.
also, I don't think unlistened in my previous post is a real word. So I'll just say I haven't heard it yet.

Kanye would be an absolute fool to do any business with Dame. The obvious problem is that Dame has no money, yet is unable to admit it. I can imagine a situation where Dame tries to argue he'll put his bread on the table at the last minute, Kanye's lawyers demand some type of up front cash, Dame catches feelings, etc.
edit: this company is 100mil in debt? Kanye would be a fool to buy this shit.

Kanye probably doesn't even have 100 million after putting his own money into his fashion line.

it's amazing that rap dudes still get away with this shit in 2015. Somewhere there's a loser listening to that shit on Apple headphones...
Yeah, same. Aight.
Yeah, not expecting FLAC or anything crazy, but 320 at least would be nice.
Not a huge deal in the car, but at home on my headphones it can sound bad.
You mean, the majority of people.
Remember, people care so little about quality of sound they gave MBTDF perfect scores.
You should be happy it's in 192, 128 was taking over for a second. As a casual audiophile I can honestly say 192 actually can sound just fine if handled well.

Yeah I don't get why they don't release it in the best possible quality if I recall Beast Mode was released in 320.
Oh damn. Yeah, could be worse then lol.

:/ Shit sucks then the new one had half the tracks at 320 and the other at 192.
Yup, doesn't help that the tape wasn't good either.
192 is the absolute lowest i will go. 128 aint having it.

Sending songs through e-mails and just packaging what you get back. We're in an era where some of these guys haven't been in an actual studio yet because they don't *need* to, despite presentation being a huge part of getting your shit to pop off.

Yep. "Phoning" in verses recorded on a laptop in a bathroom with a bed mattress on the wall.
Safe to assume most don't have an engineer on hand so I doubt any lossless versions have ever existed.
Nailed it.
