    Logic rhymes in exciting ways, but the meanings can be a little strained.

    Logic’s lyrical prowess continues to get in his way on songs like “The Return,” which sounds like a motivational song made for a late night Nike ad.

(Iridescence, Die Lit, YSIV, KSG, etc.)They either don't know his story, don't care, or did't listen to the album because this is a solid project. It's like they're giving albums scores just to try and appease the public and it's getting pathetic. It's not his best or his worst but it's nice. I haven't heard him spit like this in a minute so I appreciate the delivery. The album is truly in the 7.5 range but I rounded up. From the first song to the end, Logis is telling the story of Logic through story telling and showing the emotions he felt in those stories. Last Call is one of the better outros of the year even though it's a copy of Kanye's. The production is undeniably solid throughout and 6ix has again showed that he meshes so well with Logic. This is the Logic that many of his older fans, including myself, have missed. It's a good continuation of the YS series. Sweet and surprisingly nostalgic.… Full Review »

    Pretty enjoyable & nostalgic for all the OG Logic fans. There are some great knocking and emotional tracks here and there; Overall, a solid album.
