I could see myself really enjoying this in the right environment, like a cool evening walk, on the end of the track "Timeworm" for example it puts you into an interesting chilled out headspace that maybe I wasn't immediately expecting. Off the back of that the following track works out of the mellow feeling to a little bit more of an up beat but calm song. However I feel like I've missed something on this album in terms of what they're trying to do. It briefly touches on a few topics but never does anything with them which is maybe intended but I'm still confused as to its direction. As far as just the sound of the album its good but the lyrics for me didn't do much for me however they did do a great job for filling out the sound profile and adding to the feel of each song regardless of the actual content of the words. A good example is the last few songs which aren't in English but are still interesting wind down the album. I did finish this album thinking what on earth was the point however it was interesting and sounded good, and after all the most important part is the enjoyment, it doesn't have to be something profound, but that also doesn't make it stand out either. Could be a little higher but its the bottom end of a 6 for me right now.

Quite good. Not really my type of music so this rating could be low for what it is. Felt like something Obi-Wan would listening to on Coruscant in his Airspeeder.

A description of why this album exists would have helped me understand what the point of it is, feels like a soundtrack to something.

Had a punk kick right in the middle and then gave up as soon as the next song started. There also the contentious issue of her using the n word heavily throughout one song which at the time probably made sense to use in the way its used but not anymore just makes me cringe listening to it used in the rebellious context its being used. In isolation the use of the word does make sense and I can see the perspective but for me the word is just to hot to handle anymore. Not really sure of what else to say, should probably listen to it a few more times but nothing enticed me about it. Has a decent sound if that makes sense

if I had no idea who Pitbull was and it was made 10 years earlier and I listened to it my current age when it came out I might think he's got something here however none of this is true so its shite. Some parts of it made me laugh like the track "Shake Senora" its so stupid its funny its like something a DJ would mix at a 10 year olds party for the mums it does however go back to being a Pitbull album. The song "Took My Love" is genuinely quite good easily the best song on the album for me. Could really do with somebody else writing lyrics for him as he seems to have written about the same topics on every song he has ever made such as going to the club, being in love, being let down, going to the club, shagging, intermittent motivating phrases. I really have no idea what rating to give it as I actually quite enjoyed it but not because the music was good mainly because its insane to listen to this not in the context of getting or being battered so it was kind of like a absurdist comedy album. I really would be a good parody album. Its probably a 2 or 3 musically but for the enjoyment its a 4. I cannot believe i've thought about it this much, fair play.
