Anyone listened to this yet? Personal opinion.. It's amazing. Definitely measures up to his first album and surpasses the second, easily. A near masterpiece. Just my opinion though.
Thoughts? Any Lupe fans out there? What'd you think of this stuff, or any of his stuff for that matter?

Like what I've heard so far, definitely gonna buy it soon to support him. Kinda sucks that the label made him dumb it down, though.

I've got the album on repeat as we speak. LASERS is a masterpiece in my eyes.
I'll Never Forget You, his collab with John Legend, is probably my most played track of the album so far.

It's AMAZING. Beautiful Lasers is def my favorite. LOVE this album, Lupe is def my fav in the game right now. Any reason why he didn't put "I'm Beaming" on it? Great song that came out not too long ago.

His song "The Instrumental" is amazing, so I'll check this out. Not too into Hip-Hop/Rap, though.

BV "I'm Beamin" is a bonus track on the deluxe edition, I think.

The beat on "Coming Up" is so sick. You can't not bob your head to that one.

Break the Chain is A+
Its a B+ for me, I've heard 1/4 of the album already and I guess I was expecting more, but I am happy with it.

It sounds different from what I expected it to sound like. It certainly is no masterpiece. I have heard some say the album is complete crapbut I don't think that is the case either. Nothing to me stands out as being all that memorable on the album. Everything is just kind of ok. I would probably say it is my least favorite work that Lupe has put out.

I like it. But I have to give it a couple more listens before I can give my final rating.

Excellent album, downloaded it from iTunes. My favorite tracks are "The Show Goes On" and "Words I Never Said [feat. Skylar Grey]" but i'm slowly catching onto "Break the Chain [feat. Eric Turner & Sway]".

Most of the hip hop boards I post on HATE the album. Obviously you guys don't mind the total left field pop sound he went with on this album. Personally, I think it's a good album. Doesn't measure up to his first two.. because it is totally different content and sound wise.. but for what it is it's good.
Looking forward to a Food and Liquor 2 though for a more conventional Lupe album.
On another note the album is expected to sell 200,000 in it's first week which is amazing and a really good look for Lu.

I've listened to a couple more times. I think I'd give it an 8/10.
Not quite as good as his last LP, but its solid. I was expecting a little more. There are some good songs, but only 1 song really comes close to songs like superstar, hip hop saved my life, little weapon and more. That song being the show goes on.
