Anyone heard anything about this? I wan't totally impressed with Amerykah Pt 1. Hope Part 2 is better!

I actually liked Part One. So I am really looking forward to Part II.

Christ, i loved her last one. So scrambled and funky. Try taking a few drugs and giving it another listen

I didn't get the album. It was too out there for my taste.

I love how polarizing Pt. 1 is!

Either love it or hate it. I was actually just...confused when I first heard it. But I'm still discovering new things every spin! It's so bizarre, half-baked (no pun intended), rough, - hell half the songs sound unfinished! Like a big long work in progress. But it's so funky.

I actually was expecting her to go 'back to her roots' with NA pt 1 and pt 2 - but pt 1 is like the darker continuation to WWU.

I have heard rumours that part 2 is supposedly more structured, more similar to Baduizm - doubt this is the case though!

Horrah! A release date! Never thought I'd see the day as a Badu Fan.

I loved part one...Part 2 is gonna be even better....

~Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money~

Pt 1 was definitely an interesting listen, but didn't have much in the way of songs, and didn't hold my interest very long.

Same here...it is the only album I PLAYED OUT by her. Man I loooved that last album..it is so ecclectic and trippy with elements of soul, hip hop and experimental.

Co-sign! It's my favorite album by her.

I really liked the first one, but all the tracks sounded like unfinished thumbnail sketches of songs or ideas for them rather than full-fledged songs. I'm hoping the extra time that went into Part 2 will remedy that this time around.
