Every single song on this album is good. The beats/instrumentals are all killer.

The way the whole album flows together is dope too.
2100 to Panther Like a Panther is my fave though.
pretty done

The first song is instant skip material.
But yea, if we're talking about starting from track 2 then every single song on the album is dope. Maybe the best rap album of all time.

They released it for free.
even from a pure production standpoint, it's good

sure
Listened twice through and my general feeling is that it doesn't go as deep as RTJ2. It's a bit more surface-level lyrically and sonically, like their debut album. This is a solid album for sure, but I feel like RTJ2 captured the turbulence of America in 2014, and RTJ3 doesn't quite do that. An ideal follow-up would go even darker than RTJ2, given the way things have gone since, but instead RTJ3 is more like Mike and El taking a victory lap in light of their own careers rapidly taking off.
I'm not saying they've sold out or anything like that. It's more like they've made the equivalent of a AC/DC or Slayer album: more of the same, and not quite as striking as it was the first time around.
Maybe my feelings will change with further listens, since I was doing other stuff while listening.

Call Ticketron annoyed me to no end on my first two listens. Damn, I'm almost in love with it now, crazy how that happens.

Danny Brown might just have the most annoying voice I have ever heard. Like, song ruiningly annoying.

Kill Your Masters is the El-P I like the most. It all begins with gloomy buzzing synths we all know El from. The out of nowhere this running beat gets going like we are chasing something or something is chasing us. I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry. Next stop: El's "dusty but digital" dominion. From there the rest of the track is just a beautiful composition with drums, organs, buzz and horns. Fuck.

I thought the same. Definitely the weakest part of the album, but the song is too good to be completely ruined. Do wish I could just lift his vocals though.
Oh god I totally agree. The only part of the album I dislike is when that really cool song suddenly has that dumb ass cartoon character voice ruin it.

Never sir!
Honestly though, he does the exact same thing on Oh Hail No from El-p's album Cancer 4 Cure. At least he's kind enough to put it at the end of good songs so you know when to skip.

Hmm it sounds like they could be spelling Killer Mikes last name, his name is Michael Render.

Haha I do get that it's divisive, my friend can't stand him either but I think it works really well in doses, especially with el-p's production style.

I'm okay with him in small doses. Adds a little bit of seasoning to the song but I get that it's not to everyone's taste.

Danny Brown is one of my favs but for some reason, I'm not crazy about him on "Hey Kids".

Even with RTJ3 coming out early Atrocity Exhibition is /still/ a strong contender for Rap AOTY.

Same. For some reason his verse sounds so low quality. Like he recorded it on a phone or something. The mixing of his vocals just sounds off.
That said, I can see the criticism. It took me a while to get into Danny Brown. Hey Kids is one of my fav songs on the album and Danny Brown elevates it for me

Danny Brown is amazing but he seems like he's lyrically on autopilot with Hey Kids.
(I think he had kind of a weird and slow verse on Oh Hail No that brought it down too).

Hey Kids is kind of a weak verse from him but his inclusion in Oh Hail No was PERFECT.
Lan Dong Mik
And why would I want them?
Yeah, I have to agree. It's really one of the only negatives on the album. That shit is unbearable imo.
