Here we go folks, this is the The first triple disk album in hip hop history. 60 tracks over the course of 3 meals, lunch, breakfast and of course dinner. Grimm himself has said this album was never intended to be listened to in one sitting, rather it should be soaked up as separate meals just as the disk titles suggest. Grimm has damn near done the impossible on this, while most artist cant make a single disk album with no filler and can only dream of a double disk, Grimm has come through with a THREE disk album with little to no filler.
The production at its absolute worst is solid, nothing really bad to complain about, the beats all have very different sounds and different melodies that give them all there own distinct feel, you'll never have to worry about being bored of what you're hearing because all the diversity keeps things very fresh and exciting. Grimm himself is solid enough, he has moments of brilliance but also falls victim to moments of mediocrity. speaking strictly on his abilities to mc I feel he could have done better, some tracks he flows over like he has no interest in riding the beat and others he brings in lyrics so sub par that you have to check to see if the cut features a Grimm sound alike with less talent. Luckily these moments of weakness are few and far between, Grimm is still a very gifted mc and he pens concepts and executes them to great effect.
Grimm's songwriting is really the star here, his hooks and melodies carry the album through
all 60 tracks. He uses just about every part of the production in some way or another and often crafts very catchy hooks that mesh perfectly to create some very solid songs. This is in fact what made it possible for Grimm to do a triple disk album, he recognized that 60 songs of an mc simply spitting tradition verses with basic rhythm and ordinary hooks simply would not work, he chose instead to craft every song to very specific points on each beat to keep things interesting. True he does sacrifice his flow as an mc, but he elevates so much more as a songwriter thats its easy to forgive.
Overall the album is a success, it does have its share of faults but they're easily overlooked as the overall product is simply amazing, 3 disk worth of good music, what more can you ask for?
Overall 4/5
