I don't like to rush reviews out, but I had to for this one...Sure there are some good songs here....but for the most part its a train wreck! "Welcome to The Carter" is good....so is the LL Cool J inspired "Bells". I found "Sharks" which features Jelly Roll and Big Sean to be decent too. Lyrically tho on this album Wayne really really struggles. "Cotton Candy" has interesting production but its a pretty lazy song. On some songs Wayne just sings with heavy autotune and its truly awful. "Peanuts 2 N Elephant" was actually a highlight....if you don't mind the Elephant noises lol. But yeah there aren't enough songs here to validate this album. I wasn't too crazy about his previous Carter album, but that one had way more heat on it than this. Wayne acted like he didn't care about proving he should of had the super bowl last year and thats disappointing. Is it time for this GOAT to retire?? Signs point to yes.
