First impressions
On first listen through there are some major high points (mostly early on) and some really interesting ideas here. The album has clearly been obsessed over, with every track containing the kind of flourishes that are only thought of long after most artists would have considered the song 'done' and moved on, and all credit to Kendrick for putting in work.
It does initially feel like a slightly uneven/incoherent album though, and 'LOVE.' and 'GOD.' have a top 40 flavour I feel is a little beneath an inventor like Kendrick. It's definitely a great album and will sit in the discography ranking above Overly Dedicated and Section.80, but the jury's still out on whether it can top the cohesive, highly original masterpieces that were Good Kid, M.A.A.D City and To Pimp a Butterfly. --- independent.co.uk
