Write your name is an amazing song and I may be mistaken but I see no reasoning as to why it's forced.

Therefore, it should be on your list.

Well even if I didn't think it was forced, that doesn't 'therefore' mean that it should be on my list. As I don't particularly like the track, regardless.

It has a nice concept but Yela just doesn't inflame me when he tries to be earnest or laid back. He's always better when he's being explosive, ala "Slumerican Shitizen" (a favourite of mine).

I feel he could of been far more daring and that title could of meant so much more. "Slumerican Shitizen" and the intro and... "Growin' Up in the Gutter" really encapsulate the imagery and title in my mind. They feel akin to each other and really work...

He should of come up with some clever twists on radio tracks or figured out a way to be more daring, like Em did with The Slim Shady LP. Rather than pander, which is what he did.

"Write Your Name" is a noble attempt but it just objectively bores me.

Favorite song from from the album has to be Everything I love the Most. Then maybe Animal or Lets Roll. I really dig the album though, it's maintaining my interest even if it has a few clunkers. To be honest, I prefer the last half of the album, after Throw It Up, more than the first part, from Intro-Throw It Up.
