I played about half of Atrocity Exhibition yesterday, and I was pretty impressed.
(Of course later in the day I had my mind blown right out the back of my skull by the new Nicolas Jaar, SIRENS, out now, so that kinda took all my mental energy)
But I think the new Danny Brown is going to be a pretty big record, critically and maybe commercially. It has kind of a sprawling feel to it, especially on those first few tracks. I don't know how it stacks up to Old or XXX yet for me, but it seems pretty fucking good. I was glad to hear it wasn't ALL just insane industrial rap, because I think that with Danny's oddball voice, he really shines most when the production is smooth (see "1 Train").
So. I'm on board with Atrocity Exhibition so far. Will listen to the rest sometime today.
