There are no skips in this album imo

The vinyl copy is expensive because of what you get with it. Not only is the cover art some of the most beautiful i've ever seen on a record, the sleeve houses both the album AND Glover's 72 page screenplay to go with it! The booklet is a brilliant read and the accompanying music of the album, when played alongside as directed, perfectly captures the emotion of the story. It might seem like overkill if you're not a massive fan of his music but if you are, buying a record player just to listen to this album would be worth it.My only negative is that the two discs are very difficult to tell apart and the sides are not marked, so it can be hard to listen to the music in the right order without some trial and error. Nevertheless, the vinyl is of excellent quality, with no scratches or pops, and the album sounds great no matter what order you play it in.roscoe's wetsuit

Bought for a friend, great for it's price, nice cover and comes with a nice booklet

This is the album that got me into Childish Gambino and despite the fact he's had some other great releases, it remains my personal favourite. Very little filler on here, if any. The record is a nice pressing. The only pain is trying to figure out which side of which record you're looking at since there is nothing indicating it on the labels, but you can look at the etching.

There is a lot of variety and creativity in these tracks. Something which you don't always find with rap and r&b artists. Some of the beats and samples are the most interesting and exciting I have heard for some time. When he sings his voice is excellent and the raps he pulls are rapid and tight. In packing so much variety into the album, which some would say gives something for everyone, I left feeling that I didn't get enough of any one thing. Personally I would have liked more rap in the tracks, but others would be crying out for more of his smooth vocals r&b style.In summary the album reaches some very exciting, brave and fresh peaks, but some of it borders on just random noise rather than creative flair. I did enjoy the album though as a score I'd give 70%.Try it if you want to hear something fresh, but be prepared to like some tracks a whole lot more than others.

Awesome album. Brilliant quality vinyl and it's incredible to have this album in that format after it's limited release originally. Having followed Childish Gambino from his early days (Sick Boi, Poindexter, etc.) this seems like the culmination of someone who has put in work and created another story (like Camp), this comes with the screenplay to read whilst you listen for a fully immersed experience.

The record itself is amazing.However, Amazon doesn't inform you, that they don't actually send you the album. They send you a plain jewel case with a boring folder. This isn't the Childish Gambino album, just the CD. Buy it from elsewhere if you want the album.The real album cover is a lot cooler, with a lot more features inside.
