Danny Brown - Old

Release Date: October 8th, 2013

his 3rd album. Not gonna lie, I didn't get much from XXX, but he said in a interview that if XXX was his OK Computer, Old would be his Kid A, and that got me intrigued

Review
: and it started off normal, then "25 bucks" was really cool, but "wonderbread" was silly. Thankfully the 3-song run of "Torture," "Lonely" and "Clean Up" were good. I would say all of Side A was a enjoyable listen. Side B started with Dope Song and it put me off, and Dubstep didn't help. I thought i would like "Dip" since I was a fan of that kanye/jayz song, but i thought it sounded bad. the album won me back with "Smokin & Drinkin" and "handstand." I love Charli XCX, but the last song didn't do much for me, granted, this was 2013 so she wasn't the pop megastar she is now.

Summary
: When he says that this is his Kid A, i can understand it. I thought XXX was just another rap album that had its moments. Some songs here, danny uses his annoying voice, but the production just sounds different here. It doesn't sound like Kid A, but i understand the leap he made, and i really liked this.
