評点(rating) (5点満点 fullmark :5)
Commonの2年ぶり10作目。近年のUSの黒人人権問題をフォーカスしつつ、いつもながらのコンシャスで真摯で温かみのある作品である。ここ2作でメインプロデューサーだったNo I.D.はExecutive Producerに専念、曲はCarriem RigginsがProduceし、Robert Glasperが楽器とCo-Produceで全面的に絡んでいる。サンプリングを多用したTrackは、冒険的要素は控えめで、Chicagoやネオソウルっぽい、どこか懐かしい印象があるものがほとんど。的を得たGuestl陣によるVocalパートが多めで、アルバムとしての空気感は維持しつつ、適度にバラエティに富んだ構成になっている。
