[@spiderjeff5845]

@@NFRPodcast For me the production is just so beautiful and serene with some bangers still thrown in there too, and the more I listen the more details I’m able to pull out of the beats, the production is very rich on this album. Also I feel like Thug had more to say on this project than ever before, it really felt like there was cohesion to it. I heard the most introspection from Thug I’ve ever got and I just personally feel this is his most consistent release to date every song is fire, and the album cover is a cherry on top

[@josh0766]

I really like the album. Loved the intro and how introspective he was. I love the song with Juice wrld and peeping out the window and couldn’t agree more with the doja cat song

[@thelyonking5812]

Really good, but maybe too many songs. If Thug cut the album by maybe 4 or 6 songs it would be perfect and really concise, just like BTG. This is for sure Thugger’s more introspective and lyrical album yet. My top 3 best are Hate the Game, Day Before and Love You More. Bottom 3 has to be Icy Hot, Yea Yea Yea and Road Rage because I think the 808s were way too loud in the beat and just kinda annoy me so it ruins the song.

[@NFRPodcast]

Definitely his most lyrical album yet, glad to see you enjoyed it!

[@original_shmirko_account]

(Wrote this shit before watching the video so my opinion not too influenced based of yours 🙂) Artist Performance: I mean...it's Thugger. Who's really expecting a bad performance from this man? Both rapping and singing was great although there are moments that had to grow on me like certain parts of Yea Yea Yea where he felt a bit off-beat. Content: Best lyrics out of anything I've head from him. Dropping Jewels, Die Slow and especially motherfucking Contagious had really nice content and there where some really typical funny Thugger bars inbetween the realness to make me giggle too. Awesome! Features: Ngl sometimes it's hard to get excited when you see a feature list with a bunch of artists you barely know, but I can't really hate on anyone, most people did what the had to do. Favourites where Trav, Drizzy, Mac Miller, Gunna on Recognize Real and Secure My Wrist, Future, J Cole and T-Shyne. Production: I must say that I might prefer the production on SMF because there was a lot of variaty on there and a lot of it sounded playful and just, you know, fun and shit. I did like this production a lot tho even though some songs felt a bit unneeded (specifically Road Rage was whatever to me). Piano beats are really popular these days but the ones on here mostly felt a lot more classy that the same template that gets copied by so many rappers these days. The songs with minimal drums where all really nice and the harder beats (Bubbly especially!!!) where nice switchups. I wish Scoliosis had better mixing though. Best beat to me is Dropping Jewels for sure, and Stressed, Die Slow and Contagious are dope too. Instant replay: I thought that this album might not get as many replays as SMF did when that dropped, but tbh it just might, based on Thuggers lyrics alone. The album lenght worried me at first but I don't have as much problems with it after multiple listens. Road Rage could've been left out imo and maybe RNS but then again Juice WRLD did well on his feature there. It's a fun listen for sure and I'll be returning to it quite a bit, thought it's still too early to assume it'll get replayed more than other Young Thug projects. TLDR: dope ass album, but road rage kinda mid lol

[@djtimspaceking8306]

Some of them songs sound like beautiful thugger girl album there's some songs that was okay some songs are fire but you can hear him clear but I would love to see on his next album to do something real real different like cuz this voice is like an instrument like I would love to hear him on one rock song I don't know what it is but something different you know go on his own genre of music his own wave not too much features just him probably like R&B singers I love the album cover is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@trenhen4311]

If u got rid a half the fts and trimmed it down to 15 tracks this is an amazing Album but sadly that’s not wut happened. So for how I’d give it a 7/10. Couple solo tracks in the second half felt half assed. Definitely some straight bangers like icy hot, bubbly(minus drake ft), scoliosis a banger but the mixing isn’t done at all and rich fella shit

I disagree with some of what u were saying. I liked icy hot with doja and i thought jcoles verse was fire on stressed. Posty was kinda weak and asap needed a longer verse on living it up. First time I heard travis' verse on bubbly I was absolutely floating. Drakes verse was good but nothing crazy. Like you said he was matching thugs vibe on it. Gunna is evolving his sound further and further and I've seen that since he dropped wunna. Juice had a fire verse on rich ***** shit. Thug really performed on this album and tho Its not perfect its a well put together album where the aons don't sound the same but they mostly fit in with eachother nicely.(i forget the word for that lmao) I'd give it a solid 8.5/10

[@ModernPersona]

Why did he name this Punk? All the songs are soft.

[@NFRPodcast]

I think he meant punk in terms of acting "rebellious" which is how he defines his current sound

[@1nate]

I think originally the album was supposed to have more energy like beats that Trippie and Carti use but everyone uses them now so he probably changed up the whole concept

[@00schmitt8]

Probably to raise an expectation for fans based on carti and others association with the word “punk” , then to switch it up and introduce others to something more experimental
