I haven't read that article yet.. I just wanna say that TPAB is easily my album of the year, as well as one of my favorite albums of all time.
I love the Coltrane influence on This Free? Interlude, the way he used his voice to flow like an instrument. The robotic vocals effect on You Ain't Gotta Lie's hook. The hard ass drums on How Much a Dollar Cost. Kendrick's scream at the beginning of "u". Rapsody's verse on Complexion is the best female MC verse of the decade (much better than Nicki on Monster)..
There are just so many layers to it and each one of them is so great, whether it's the production, lyrics or very high level of technical rapping. I can really go on and on about how much I love every song. Such an incredible album.
