He's dealt with fame in more meaningful ways in other songs. And I don't think I will ever like Survival. All the rest are great songs to me. The album has it all -- humour, seriousness, cool concepts, great lyricism, good production. Content-wise, this is an honest, insightful and reasonably comprehensive reflection on his life and career so far -- serious music which I have to pay attention to, not background music. The production is not cohesive, but this was never an issue for me. Overall, in terms of listenability it goes with the big three for me.
Yeah the "lack of cohesion" wasn't really a problem for me with this album
I never really got the lack of cohesion thing? Every song sounds like it was recorded for this album. Even survival, I dont get the survival and recovery comparisons? Maybe just the beat but even that not really. This album sounds very cohesive to me.
Survival's a damn good song, good lyrics with good lines and an interesting flow/voice.
