I love this Tribe cuz it sounds like Tribe but doesn't sound like they're forcing some nostalgic sound either. It's not an imitation of themselves. It's just them.

Agreed. In fact, I think it might actually be their most consistently A-game album yet. Their first three albums had moments that felt a bit childish and immature, even though for my money I'd still say they're a 9/10, 9.5/10, and 10/10 respectively. This one is just loaded with top shelf shit from everyone involved. Q-Tip and Phife, sure. No surprise there. But also Jacobi and the (uncredited at this point) sick contributions from Muhammad. Not to mention Busta sounding better than he has since the Coming, and Cons, KENDRICK, KANYE!!!! Even the licks by Jack White fit the bill perfectly (I like this version of White's hip-hop accompaniment better than I like his comparatively bloated and heavy handed work on Lemonade, btw) ... it's all quite seamless and very much what the doctor ordered.
Take a lesson, Wu-Tang.

I need to take optimism lessons from you.
Who knows though? Maybe the Trump election will kickstart something. If there's one thing Kim and Thurston hate more than each other at this point, it's radical right-wing political bullshit and socio-cultural injustice.
That would be sweet. A much needed cherry on top of the shit sundae that is the world circa 2016.
(New re-energized Fugazi album couldn't hurt either... but I'm setting myself up for heartbreak)
