    Wayne, much like in his mixtape days, is finally having fun again. And when he does that, the results are captivating.

    Across the hour, Funeral sounds less like last rites for Wayne and more like a resurrection.

    He still has clear vision and awareness of his place in the hip-hop game. However, Wayne is not a great editor, and thus listening to Funeral can become exhausting about halfway through. While listeners may be fatigued, however, Wayne is far from it.

His lyrics can be abrasive and gross and I absolutely love it. It's ugly and beautiful. My only critique, if you can even call it that, is that maybe there's a few too many songs, but one listener's "filler" is another's favorite song.… Full Review »
