The fruit does not fall too far from the tree does it? While this may not be the innovative music of MJ, he would be proud of the quality of this. Seeing folk/singer songwriter as genres, I did not expect to like this as much as I do. It very much has elements in the alternative-R&B vein as well that we hear so much these days. As the list below shows, it is a great consistent album featuring some of my favourite songs that I've heard for a while. Best Tracks: collide, repair, undone, cosmic (wait for me), dead sea, let down, scorpio rising, wilted, another spring

A fairly consistent pop rap album as far as I'm concerned and K-Maro's first pretty much all English album which makes it much easier to enjoy the whole thing. He only shows us his multilingualism with a few words throughout the tracks. Most of it is really pop-rappy so stay away if you don't like the sound of that, and if you did like his past hits like 'Femme Like U' and 'Crazy' there is nothing with that sort of dance-rap type of vibe to it. Probably the kind of artist you are better off checking out a song though before you get the whole album. Best Tracks: Let It Show, Love it or Leave It, Take You Away, Change the Game, Not Your Time To Go

There are aspects of this to appreciate, particularly some of the Cole's verses and flows, but after a few listens, I'm not left with anything memorable enough for a higher score. There isn't anything top-tier. '4 Your Eyez Only' aside, Cole seems to have reached out to outside producers more than his other projects, but there isn't much I like enough. Give me his beats from his first two albums any day of the week over the trap influenced production here. And the 'Do It Again' by The New Birth sample on 'Close' has been used so many times on some songs I love that is feels stale here. Best Tracks: 9 5 . s o u t h, p r i d e . i s . t h e . d e v i l

While never having the expectation of amazing song after amazing song, you used to always be able to count on Khaled for a banger or two on his albums, but this and his last project haven't even had that. The beat on 'Big Paper' got me feeling kind of hype but it didn't last. Boring. Generic production. A number of artists featured who I do not enjoy. Cringe Puffy screaming Scarface quotes. Not for me. Best Track: Sorry Not Sorry (feat. Nas, Jay-Z, James Fauntleroy & Harmonies By The Hive)

The best on this are among my favourite in the genre. Pun's fantastic rhymes with his brilliant skill over darkly themed beats like those on 'You Ain't a Killer' and 'Capital Punishment' are superb. The skills shown on other songs like 'Boomerang' and the cover, 'Twinz', are rare, and even when he is spitting over poppy beats, like 'Still Not a Player', he doesn't let up and entertains. The beats on this aren't fantastic overall and the skits would've been a pain in the non-digital age but there isn't anything poor here. A must listen for hip hop fans. Beats: ★★★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★★★★ Hooks: ★★★★ Best Tracks: Beware, You Ain't a Killer, Boomerang, Capital Punishment, The Dream Shatterer
