There are some high moments here, but as others say, this is just too long. Albeit some are interludes, but 22 tracks with the sound being similar from song to song makes it drag on. The audio inserts, added to the beginning and end of songs at times, adds to those feelings. I've said it a million times in reviews, if you are going to add speech/interludes/skits, etc, make them their own separate track. When I was about two-thirds of the way through this, I actually thought I was back to the start because the song sounded similar to what i had already heard. A consistent, decent listen, but it feels bloated. Best Tracks: Body Bag Philosopher, Don Eladio, Angels with Dirty Faces

I like enough of what Daft Punk have done, so there is no hate here, but I find the majority of this to be throwback disco cheese at an extremely high level. The love isn't warranted and the supposed best song from this album based on the ratings, 'Get Lucky', is okay for about 2 minutes, then it's incredibly boring. Best Tracks: Give Life Back to Music, Giorgio by Moroder, Contact

While Twista has created some great pop-rap throughout his career, this is more of what I've been wanting from him. It's just hardcore hip hop from front to back. As the title hints at, there is a lot of gun talk, including one song, 'Glock', where he just runs through the names of glocks. My pick is 'Coming Home' that seems to use the same sample as J. Cole's 'Trouble'. There is nothing A1 here that stops me rating this higher, but it's an easy listen with Twista's signature rapping continuing to be a joy to listen to. Best Tracks: Coming Home, Black Rambo, Twista Miculek

This is quite good. Songs like 'Check Me Out' and particularly, 'Keep It Real', have the sound that do bring back memories of the original '95 'Doe or Die'. It's a smooth/soulful listen with AZ sounding and rapping as well as ever. There is nothing to match his best tracks, but as the list below shows, the consistency is great. Best Tracks: The Wheel, Keep It Real, Never Enough, Different, Blow that Shit, Check Me Out, Time to Answer, Found My Niche

Better than I thought it would be based on the rep it has. The only really bad moment is the playground fight when Matt meets Elektra - Laughable stuff. It seems that many superhero movies go into too much detail about the origin of well-known superheroes, but here I don't think we learn enough about the genesis of Daredevil's abilities. The other main issue is the thin story. Scenes including a whole subplot were removed to reduce the running time and I don't think that helped the film. Despite Stan Lee apparently disliking the film, because he felt the film was "too tragic", the darker tone it has compared to most Marvel films works. There is some decent action and at only 80 minutes it doesn't overstay its welcome.
