    I love Push; been a fan since Lord Willin' and soak up just about everything he puts out. However, this album leaves a lot to be desired. At just 35 minutes long, it feels very pared down and overly simple. There are some good innuendos and punches but nothing seemed to really stick out. To wait four years after Daytona for this is a bit a letdown.

    Maybe one or two songs have good replay value as most tracks just keep rehashing the same coke theme and from an aesthetic point of voice, most of the beats and melodies seem all over the place and a hodgepodge of randomness, which happens when you have two diametrically opposed producers in Ye and Pharrell at the controls.    … Expand

    Honestly, pretty boring. Just didn't stick with me like Daytona did. Also his coke raps are getting old. Rap about something else Push....you're 44, you're not selling coke anymore. We've heard it all, switch it up. Production is solid but nothing push says or does on this album is really impressive. Pretty Bland overall. If i had to pick, Brambleton and Neck & Wrist are really the onlyHonestly, pretty boring. Just didn't stick with me like Daytona did. Also his coke raps are getting old.

    The intricately constructed It’s Almost Dry is still part of a now decades-long roll-out attesting to his bravado—and we’re not complaining.

    On “It’s Almost Dry”, Pusha T proves that while he is fixated on selling drugs (almost to an obsessive extent), he is also a truly creative and, yes, original artist.

    The issue with Pusha’s fourth solo album isn’t his insistence on portraying a heartless American striver as if he’s the rap game Al Pacino – it’s that he’s unable to consistently conjure the menacing intensity that enlivened his work with with twin brother Malice as Clipse. [Jun 2022, p.52]
