| Thanks to C. Tran for this one....
Lushlife's new album is dope from top to bottom IMO. He's a dope rapper, and I would say his production work stands out even more. The production is noted for being heavily influenced by Brian Wilson, Van Dyke Parks, David Axelrod and Burt Bacharach. It's very fresh sounding all in all IMO. The standouts are plentiful, and I'd say some favorites would be "Meridian Sound Part One", "Another Word For Paradise" (featuring Camp Lo), "Until The Sun Dies" (in my top 5 favorite songs of '09), & "Meridian Sound Part Three" (which is painfully short, but still easily one of the best here).
My rating: 4.5 stars | |

| lol glad you really dig this album Al. I agree with everything you said. Lushlife's production on here is nothing short of spectacular and Lushlife is a dope rapper. Everything just connects on this album. I love the flow of the album, and how none of the songs seem out of place. Easily album of the year for me. Right now, I'm giving it a solid 4.75, and can still go up with time. It's that damn dope to me. Too many standouts to name. "Meridian Sound Part Three" is damn tight, even if it's only 2 minutes and 13 seconds long. \ Anybody wanting a link, just hit me up ( ). |

| I checked it out and.................................it is average to me. I can see why you guys are going crazy over it but for me there is nothing grabbing me in. He's a typical undaground cat with the smooth/friendly production and just rapping about nice things. I truly have nothing against it so please do not take this as diss it's just nothing special to me. Kinda like that Shad album.

I hear ya Kev. Honestly that Slaughterhouse is falling under the same category for me, but I know you dig that style more. Different strokes... | |

| Well I think I'm gonna have to pick this album up. Have any of you already bought it? If so from where?
This is neck and neck with Water For Mars as my fav album this year. This would be around Might sound crazy but the same vibes I was getting from Below The Heavens I'm getting from this.
I'd give this a 4.75 and it could go up.... | |

The production is strong throughout, the songs are pretty consistent. It would be interesting to hear someone over these beats who was a better rapper, but he handled it well enough. | |
