I am now looking forward to a new record! (A lot of the cats out there trying to appeal to the young crowd should take a lesson here and work on what got them to where they got to.) This sounds GOOD!

How long has this thing been coming? I want to teleport back a few years just to give this a less appreciative listen, then do it again now. Hell yeah. Music: yes. Hell yes.

That equation just sounds like it's going to be quality. The music world needs more of that. IMO, there is too much that tries to be new, and often fails when that is its only aim. That music inevitably gets paved over within a few months. It needs to be balanced with music that references what has already been done. Maybe it's just that picture of ?uestlove and Al, but I'm stoked. No, I think I've been stoked since hearing the production on the Philadelphia Experiment. That man has a good ear.
