Instrumentally I think this entire project is very strong and unique but because some songs have a rough mix and lack of directions on the lyrical/flow end, it hurts Tyler ability at making this a very strong project
Album just lacks some fine tuning on some high potential ideas, and because of that songs like SMUCKERS and 2SEATER succed so well and songs like …. fail
FIND YOUR WINGS and 2SEATER is the best soul infused jazz instrumental I have ever heard enter mainstream music
Only saving grace of the song CHERRY BOMB is the 2nd part where the less distoted instrumentation and vocals enters
Remove 4 songs and this album is not far from being on par with his following albums
