oh my God I know I've been talkin' shit about The Monster, but after 1st listen to the album I think like the placement of this song on the album is perfect and it sound... better when you listen to the whole album, same goes for Survival which is already a great song, I don't know... I just... after 1st listen to this album I was like 'this album is flawless'

This, but Survival is still dope. It's just a weak link.

The funny thing that Survival is the only song that I didnt skip on the first listen. But I skipped Monster, Berzerk and Rap God. To be honest, Im starting to dislike Rap God lol

I feel like Survival and Berzerk are out of place. The Crack A Bottle and Beautiful of the album for how jarringly not fitting they are.

^ AGree Bezerk does feel out of place. Monster just needs to be less poppy and it would've been an ok song. Survival is just meh. He could have done a better anthem then that.

"Survival" actually fits really well.

This album feels like a play, like it's structured in Acts...

The first 4 tracks feel like Act 1, which he ends in a flat and off-hand way with the 'just kidding' line, then "Survival" storms the fuck in to pick it up and it works really well.

"Berzerk" fits absolutely perfectly and the album enhances it within the album, it sounds so good here; like it's a piece to the madness puzzle.

"Monster"... I still wish it wasn't here but I'm amazed at how it doesn't ruin the album... it's because this album is so musically diverse and there's a lot of singing and sounds going on... so it doesn't feel like some odd break in pace or tone. It actually works. I'm shocked.

This is a really really strong album. Which is structured excellently.

The only thing I'm annoyed about it thinking those bonus tracks will be genius and that they could have potentially... or one of them could have replaced 'monster' and elevated it a little better.

I actually wish he had just made the standard album a double and added a few more tracks. Then just went all out with like 10 fucking videos.
