    I Found Myself Bored Throughout This Project, Because Of The Lyrics. But The Production Was Great, Which Redeems The Album A Bit. My Favourite tracks in the album would be Sunday, Chum, and Knight

    Would be a lot more interesting with some variation in the production and, more importantly, if Earl actually sounded awake. Few rappers manage to sound as disinterested as Earl Sweatshirt. Does he even like rapping?

    Overall, this is definitely one of the most boring albums I've listened to in a while. Earl dropped the ball hard. Throughout, he sounded like he was bored or just woke up when he recorded the songs and he regularly got outperformed on songs by features. The production, however, is pretty good.

    Snooze-worthy production, Monotone delivery. Just a generally boring project. I was waiting for the album to be over the entire time. The reason I have given this album a 4 is because it contributes to my enjoyment of both Earl's and Tyler's later projects just to see how much they have both grown as a rapper and a producer respectively. A stepping stone to be sure, in a similar vein to Goblin.

    Doris may not get the party started, but it's still an inspiring album.

    There are perhaps too many guests, but this unassuming talisman clearly prefers sharing his space. [Nov 2013, p.84]
