    Save a few moments of "over-rapping," his pen is sharp and succinct, void of dull or filler moments. [Dec/Jan 2016, p.90]

    This is the album where it all changed, as the one they call Young Sinatra comes into his own and proves his nearly perfect debut was no isolated fluke.

    There's enough variation in energy and production to keep the listener engaged throughout, and several times there are sudden drops into another beat entirely in the middle of a song.

    The Incredible True Story is Logic's best work yet, but there's still work to be done bridging the gulf between his ambition and his ability.

    The Incredible True Story is both the overt and organic progression of an accomplished emcee maneuvering in his comfort zone past potential pitfalls.

    With the creative confidence to go with his considerable skills and heart, Logic crafts some polished and appealing material.... Overall, a step up for the sophomore.

    The Incredible True Story is a pleasant voyage to Paradise orchestrated by an artist who’s earned the approval of legends from Rick Rubin to Big Daddy Kane. Logic has the tools to create music that has longevity, but has yet to unlock the characteristics that truly set him apart.

I love concept albums anyway and this one is brilliant. The tracks are faultless (I like all of them but Paradise and Run It are top 2) and the backdrop story is a great idea that provides some welcome respite in between Logic's insanely fast spitting. I actually like the album it that much that I never skip any of the skits. What is also impressive is how most of Logic's bars tie back in with the overall space concept. You can tell he put a lot of thought into this and it pays off.… Expand

    Very good lyrics and flows from logic. The skits are cool as well and make the album fun to listen to.

    Logic tries to hard almost every time pushing him to create pretensions sham philosophical rap that fails ar being fun or political
