    Just a few good tracks. The album is kind of a disappointment considering his talent.

    Just bad. That’s it. There’s nothing else to really say about it. Absolutely brutal on the ears.

    The biggest disappointment I have ever went through. I have never wanted to gauge my ears out more listening to an album.

    This album finds itself wandering far too into pop territory, without the accompanying substance and adventure that made his preceding releases so refreshing. [Oct 2019, p.67]

    TBD, on the other hand, wrangles with value-laden mindlessness in a manner that is both fun and endearing. TBD succeeds, in other words, on the merit of its recontextualisation of current trends into a project that is equal parts soapbox and sellable product.

    Occasional nearsighted lyrical perspectives and three or four excellent but inessential tracks keep The Big Day from quite reaching masterpiece status, but it's still the most grown up (and the most polished) rendering of Chance's eternally bright spirit in his catalog.
