    as pharrell said in the justified sessions…

    “NEPTUUUUNEEESSS MUTHAFUUUCCKKKKKAAAAAAAAAA”

    lol honestly yeah in my opinion the neptunes carried this album
    Common is nice with it no doubt, but he was lackin lyrically but some parts he totally dominated lyric-wise.

    Beat-wise….neptunes killed it. my fav is what a world, then punch drunk, then gladiator, then inhale….I like every song on there except Announcement lol…the flow from both p and common was HOT on that biggie tip lol…but the beat was lifeless to me too robotic or w/e lol.

    Aside from all that..Mr. DJ did excellent work on everywhere and make my day….changes was cool but nothing to big for me.

    Lets just say..I’ve had a majority of the tracks for a week now lol…and i’m still gonna cop it…great album guys.

    I heard the album on his MySpace profile.
    It was dope. I stopped at like trk. 5 because I wanted to hear the rest when I buy it.

  17. milo mel December 9th, 2008 8:42 pm

    This album is dope!!!

    I already have favorites tracks ‘PUNCH DRUNK LOVE’, ‘SEX 4 SUGA’, ‘INHALE’ and ‘MAKE MY DAY’ have got me hooked at the moment.

    shout out to the COMMON and of course the NEPTUNES for this sweet ass album!

    I just picked the album up earlier today and I must say, the sonically-driven feel to it is so lively and well-crafted. I wrote more about the album, and my love for Common’s whole catalogue, on my own blog for any wandering eyes to check out.

    Thanks for producing such an astounding sound.

    Oh and i met common like a month ago when he came down to this lame town of Columbus.
    He’s so cool!
    He thought me and my BFF was so dope!!!
    i totally have the whole meet and greet on camera cause i was filming it for my high school.
    it was a great experience.
    And the funny thing is we(Common, me, and my BFF) forgot our clear lense glasses!!!
    but i have some pics from the meet and greet on my myspace (myspace.com/alasaundra)
    But yeah the album was a must get.

    the album is fucking dope got the chance to interview/ have dinner with com last friday when he was in the sf bay area doing promo for umc.
    after finding out that my big bro’s p & c did 70% it made think of timberlakes first solo and how the neptunes kill shit.. i hit the road sunday to start the bayliens x-mas tour and have been bumping non stop… once agin they kill the game..hope soon the bayliens will kno what it feel like to have a neptunes produced album!!!

    Hmm…I have to give it more listens! I love Common, but this album is not quite grabbing me yet.

    My favorite tracks on the album: UMC, Inhale, and Punch Drunk Love.

    Now, I do think that a live version of Punch Drunk Love (The Eye) should have been included on the US album version. When I heard that live, I was going crazy! I was really feeling it. The guitar sound was strong, everything was just amazing about the song in concert.

    So I was sorta disappointed with the album version, but I still like it nonetheless.

    Common is a very talented artist, and I know that a lot of people will embrace his new sound.

    if only the Clipse CD could have been as well produced

  36. dreamcrusher December 16th, 2008 3:23 pm

    i’m not feelin’ it, the transition to radio-friendly has dulled down his lyrics to just about nothing. It kinda pissed me off…

  37. Lolita December 21st, 2008 4:31 am

    picked up this CD yesterday while I was christmas shopping and now its on rotation in my car….besides UMC i’m loving ‘what a world’
