    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While this album is a positive effort overall, there are a few shortcomings as well as one very glaring problem that this project has that prevents it from being better than just "good": this album, and Logic himself, lack a distinct style that makes it/him unique. Right from the get-go on the track "Contact" Logic borrows the distinguished production from Kanye West's song "Amazing"; on the song "Like Woah", which is one of the highlights on the album, Logic employs a flow that resembles that of fellow emcee Kendrick Lamar; the song "I Am The Greatest" gives off "Worst Behavior" vibes; "City of Stars" sounds similar to Kanye West's "Flashing Lights", as well as many other examples throughout the album. It is very obvious to see who Logic's influences are, but on this album Logic fails to establish his own style to be emulated. On top of that, while the concept of the album is unique, some of the skits and scenes contain very weak dialogue, and in the scene in which Kai asks the AI to impersonate Big Sean, it came across as insanely unrealistic and incredible corny. Logic is an extremely talented rapper but does not necessarily live up to his capabilities on this project.… Expand

    There's a bit to like about this project. It has a really cool concept, the skits are actually colorful and funny, and sonically it is very well done. This is also prior to Logic's unbearable lyrical drop off, so there are some interesting bars. The main negative is it just way too long and his blatant biting of more talented artists. It's a decent project, but it kind of feels like it'sThere's a bit to like about this project.

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

    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 both the overt and organic progression of an accomplished emcee maneuvering in his comfort zone past potential pitfalls.
