9th Wonder makes some pleasant beats, but he is limited as a producer. I've often felt that his creations get repetitive. 'Friends' is one example. It basically just loops the start of Outkast's amazing 'She Lives in My Lap', that would make it one of the best songs, but it erroneously includes the female's laugh about every two bars that gets irritating and ruins it. The loop in the title track gets repetitive too. On 'Rewind, maybe the keys are too highly pitched, however, part of the instrumentation reminds me of the tremendous 'Iron Galaxy' by Cannibal Ox that helps it be above average. 'What It Is' has some terrible expressionless rapping by Mu$ that makes it the worst moment, and I don't enjoy Roscoe's feature on 'King Is Born', so there are minor things that ruin some tracks for me. Elsewhere, it's fairly vibey, with an improving second half, but nothing wows me. Hus is okay, but says nothing much I've taken notice of. 'Chaos' is the highest point of the project for me.
