    The Wonder years have not only delivered a genuinely great pop-punk record but a genuinely great record, period. [8 Oct 2011, p.50]

    Overall, it's hard to find much fault with The Wonder Years, and it's remarkable how cohesive it feels given that it's a compilation album.

    Don't let Miller's presence detract you from buying an otherwise perfectly adequate album. Let the rest of the stuff that's wrong with it do that.

    one of my favorite album of the year. It's classic Hip-Hop, soulful, and a well done album. Great collaborations with Raekwon, Blu, Warren G, Mac Miller, Phonte, Median, Masta Killa, Erykah Badu, and Sundown. I give 9th wonder credit for doing that awesome song, "Peanut Butter & Jelly", with Marsha Ambrosius. To me, that was the highlight of the album. Overall, the album was awesome.… Expand
