1.Lotusflow3r - like it quite a lot. IMO, a cool rocking easy to get into album. One or two tracks I don't like though but can't really complain too much about it. Dreamer, Colonized Mind are class.
2. MPLSound - doesn't really do it for me. I think I know what he's trying to do but it sounds forced - don't dig the lyrics too much nor the drum sound. Hoping it'll grow on me though.
3. Elixer - haven't really listened to it too much. Like the last track but that's about all.

8--MPLSound was surprisingly likable. After laughing at it initially, I like it quite a bit. Not really a single bad tune on it. Not great maybe, but very solid. Very light on the surface, but underneath is some really masterful and artful execution of some enjoyable (and Prince sounding) songs.

7--Lotus was a bit disappointing after my initial love of it. Being the title disc of the set, I naturally assumed it was the main course, and best disc. I turned out to me mistaken, from my point of view, at least. It is solid, but not great, and what distinguishes it from MPLSound is also what makes it worse. It's a mood piece, but not really good song for song. Musicianship over songcraft. And maybe a bit too much electric guitar.

5--I've only listened to Elixer once all the way through. There were a few interesting moments, but her voice is entirely without depth. The songs are pretty fluffy too. Not bad, but not really something I want to spend my time on at the moment.

All 3 are surprisingly well produced and very consistent. Taken as a whole they are my favorite thing since TRC. But I am not sure any single disc is as good as 3121--a close call though.
