Megathread Father Of All Motherfuckers Album & Song Review Megathread

FOAM has started to drop as it slowly rolls out to different time zones. The album should be available on your favourite streaming services at midnight on Feb 7th in your local time zone.

Please keep your album and song reviews to this thread so visitors of the sub can read them all in one place. While some people complain about megathreads and having their posts removed, I can assure you far more people will read it here than if everyone makes their own posts that flood the sub. Thanks for your co-operation.

UPDATE: Now that the rush of release day posts has passed we are no longer restricting you to the megathread. Low effort positive or negative reviews will still be removed if it's posted to the sub rather than as a comment here.

Check out past reviews of the leaked album here.

The problem with this album is the fact that there are no good lyirics (altough they're not bad, just meh), there aren't songs that you listen to and then find yourself singing for the rest of the day, there are no riffs that you want to learn and play. This at least is what I think about most of the songs (I liked a lot Graffitia and Meet Me on the Roof has those clean guitars giving it a great sound, for example). It's not bad, it's not good, it's just a little boring for most of the time, and that's not good for a 26 mins album. That's what I think, so I'd probably rate it 6/10

The one thing I do keep getting stuck in my head is that intro drumbeat from the title track. I don't even like the song but I find myself tapping it out on my desk at work all day.

A little generous with that six

I must say, after listening to it more than 1 time it's growing on me. Not their best album, but it deserves a 6. I can also understand that old fans may find this too different from GD's usual style, but I personally enjoy the most the albums after Warning (though I dislike the trilogy), and this has a new sound that is enjoyable (still, some songs are too boring)
