The one downside to *NEWS*

i love this album.
have been playing it alot
(at the moment,it is on thru the PC,i got a candle lit.feels wonderful)

but the thing that hurts it 4 me it that every track begins & ends the same.
slow,ends up building at the middle & then breaks down again.
it would b good if each track had a different way of ending or closing.

this is why,musically i regard NEWS as the better work.(only just)
but as an album,Xpectation gets my vote.

Hmmm... North and West start slow, East and South more uptempo, don't they?

yeah south does.

& East is somewhat uptempo (after a couple of minutes)
but still a mellow vibe.

As a piece of work, NEWS is the best one but as an album
XPECTATION is the better one.

Yet, for sheer vibe and atmosphere, breath and bombshell,
my vote goes to the C-NOTE ep.

I like NEWS alot. The only problem I have is that on "North" he wastes about 3 minutes of airtime towards the end because there is hardly any music playing.

Sometimes silence plays a role in musical composition.

It's nothing groundbreaking, nor should it be considered a hindrance.
