This album has some of the best tracks I've heard in a while. 'Auditorium' is brilliant. Slick Rick needs to drop another album. The best track of the year so far in 'Priority' is way way too short, and probably the best one minute track I've heard but great nevertheless and 'Life in Marvelous Times' is quality and feels like it's always building up. Then the other favs come toward the end titled 'Roses' and the penultimate track 'History'.
Amongst the greatness though, not all the production is to my enjoyment. I find a lot of it on the tracks I haven't mentioned boring, and apart from 'Wahid', 'Casa Bey' and 'Quiet Dog Bite Hard', which I enjoy to some degree, it's fairly hit or miss. In saying this though, I have to give 'The Ecstatic' a good 3.5/5 because the best tracks more than earn it and it has some originality to it.
Best Tracks: Priority, Auditorium, Life in Marvelous Times, Roses, History
