ADHD 2

Listen 1: There's like two skits in here where, I'm assuming, Joyner had people talk shit about how he's making another album about ADHD and how he needs to grow up and get over it. I think he's misinterpreting people's hate or criticism of it. It's not that he should grow up, but his style has not changed that dramatically and that's what people are tired of. There are definitely some songs on here that weren't copies of the first ADHD but the headlining tracks (~2-7 or so) are all his bread and butter which most people I think are tired of. I am too. As you get deeper in the album, there are some much poppier different songs that I don't really remember being on the original ADHD and so I have to give props to those. Listen 2: Yes, it's pretty long. Yes, there isn't much reinventing the wheel of any kind. Yes, nothing is really even that great. But, Joyner does consistently put out formulaic songs. None of these are outright bad in any certain way. The production on all of them I have heard a million times before but there is still enough here where I like this album as a whole. I've always considered Imagine Dragons this way (probably because I grew up on them), but Joyner fits this bill as well. Just an album with a whole ton of singles. The theme of ADHD comes and goes whenever Joyner feels like it seems. You could take out the skits and few direct lines referring to ADHD and this would still be a fully packed album. It just doesn't really matter in terms of the entire scope of the project. 1 Week Later: Hard to say more than what I've already said about the project. Joyner has a pretty formulaic approach to making music which obviously has had it's success. It does sound good at times as well. However, for an album this long, it does have it's down sides and head scratching moments considering the theme. Overall, it's a fun listen if you're looking for some aggressive but upbeat rap with some pop songs sprinkled in here and there.
