      @@alkomusios5740 Okay yeah, but that's what artists do, they change their style. 22, A Million was a radical change for sure, but that was kind of the point of it - to alienate. And these two new tracks sound like yet another change.

      i feel like 22 a mil kind of tarnished his legacy. I loved it (def my least favorite of his) and the fans loved it but it was so different from the folk sound that people knew him for.

    Not gonna lie, I didn't enjoy either of these tracks too much either. Then again, I consider 22, A Million to be an absolute masterpiece, my expectations might've been really high, but compared to the astonishing experimentation going on in there these were meh at best.
