It's not perfect, but it has strong and beautiful moments. I love her vocals here! It's one of the best debut albums we've seen thus far - it's quite cohesive and well-layered. And it shows that, as Nas said, Miley Cyrus can fit anywhere. It's more subdued than the rest of the album, and as melanchonic as last tracks.

Album closer - "Am I Dreaming" - is another one of my favorites. Even though it's enjoyable, it's missplaced, hence the next track - "Life After Salem" - is going back to more melanchonic, distanced sound with its heavy metal, clunky guitars. Going back to trap and over-the-top stuff, "Dont Want It" still shows Nas' deeper vocals but the track itself is really anthem-y, especially with those news samples inside of it. "Void" features similar strings to its predecesor, but they're more subdued, and instrumental builds-up a little in course of the track, with Nas' voice going louder before being quite high (did he found love?). "It's much more to life than dying" is my most favorite lyric from the whole album I guess.

And just like in "Thats What I Want" I see some hope, but here it's more melanchonic, depressed. Lyrics are very deep, they reflect how being gay is wrong for people for some reason. Second verse featured harmonizations, which are pretty dope - just mixing his deep tones with those altered vocals! And those violins at the end.just beautiful! "Sun Goes Down" starts with nice guitar riff and what it seems like should be part of the outro (really altered, subdued vocals) - which would be true what Take a Daytrip said about him changing the course of tracks. "Tales of Dominica" is quite darker than the rest songs of the albums, with Nas' deeper voice, later layered with slight auto-tune. And Megan's delivery is really something, like in "Thot **** (2021), she showcases such force. That song is pretty dope, not only through enjoyable Nas and Megan deliveries, but mostly because of its beat. Its synths go really well into trumpets of "Dolla Sign Slime" featuring Megan Thee Stallion. Anyway, am I the only who thinks that "Lost In the Citadel" kicks off just like "Clumsy" (2006) by Fergie? Besides that, this one is cool too - with really nice vocal melodies and groovy rock chorus. But hence Elton John got a feature credit here, I thought he would sing there, but that's not what happened instead he is just playing piano here. But the song itself is very enjoyable with its athmospheric production. I like Doja's verse and her backing vocals - they're pretty sweet! "One of Me" starts kinda like Madonna's "To Have and Not to Hold" (1998), but the piano kicks in, and then chorus is with more complex background, but with kinda odd word choices. It's just 'scoop' repeated few times.is it supposed to be new 'skrrr'? However how he delivers second verse is pretty cool, so deep or just altered.

It's instrumental starts really cool, and before chorus Nas really goes with his vocals! But the chorus itself is.dissapointing to say the least. And there is "Scoop" which I was really excited about, and the track seems to be cohesive of what Nas said about Doja, that he admires her for her perfectionism and working on body. I don't care about "The Art of Realization", I don't know if it's really needed here. Even though Nas sings last chorus in a weird way, like he's part-goat, but it's pretty enjoyable and I grooved to it since it was included in Montero teaser. I love counting at the begining and synthline behind choruses. "Thats What I Want" is a nice piece of pop rock, I would even argue it's one of my most favorite tracks from the album. And it's hook, those trumpets, they're just so great! And I simply like the fact that Nas is saying outloud that he want that commercial success, and it might be seen as egoistical, but for me he's very right. But "Industry Baby" kicks really! Not only you see the contrast of homo and hetero lyrics here (perfect track for bisexuals lol), but both Nas and Jack compliment each other nicely over a really kick-ass beat. It starts off with the title track, which has cool, guitar-y instrumental, later kicking with a little of hook, and it exploring gay sex - It starts off with the title track, which has cool, guitar-y instrumental, later kicking with a little of hook, and it exploring gay sex - nice! It's followed by "Dead Right Now", which has much more trap beat and sounds pretty dope.
