OK then... :lol:

:lol: I know! I am such a huge 21 savage stan, i could do without calvin on the track though! :lol:

Listen, anything 21 Savage touches turns to GOLD. It deserved a place on vol. 1.

But it wasn’t made in 2017, so how could it have been? :lol: it’s not like it was titled Vol. 1 because he intended those to be the better songs.

Yep just like Vol. 1 this is doing nothing for me. Stay With Me is the best of the bunch

Calvin spoke through all the tracks on Radio 1

And for all those who don’t like the funk wav stuff, Calvin is already talking about getting back to the dance tracks. After Vol.1 we got One Kiss and Promises so hopefully something similar will happen. :lol:

Terrible album.

 

Get back to me when you decide you wanna release bangers again, Calvin. Until then you can get in the bin.

It’s really not that deep. He’s just making the music he wants to make. I don’t really get why people were expecting such groundbreaking tracks when there is literally a Vol.1 where you can get the gist of what the vibe is.

 

It's really not that good either... but I'm glad he's managed to make the elevator music of his dreams.

I actually quite enjoyed this album overall, perhaps not as much as Vol. 1 but there were some standouts. Namely: Obsessed, Ready Or Not, Stay With Me, and Living My Best Life.

savaged by Pitchfork:

Borrowing from disco, electro-soul, boogie, and 1980s R&B, vibe commissioner Calvin Harris’ second volume of frictionless summer jams has the staying power of vape smoke at Coachella.

Tbh I think this is getting slated too much - yeah there's not many tracks that stand up well on their own and I'm really not a fan of Stay With Me or Obsessed, but put all together it works really well as summery background music. New To You is my favourite by miles, the production with all the strings is absolutely gorgeous

The album just about managed to stay in the Top 100 this week. Fast falling album in a 3 week period.

I was rather enjoying every track on this album up to 'Stay With Me' - I didn't love 'New Money' at first but it's grown on me, could have done with better vocal mixing though - so was prepared to make a post about it being way overhated but then the quality did kind of nosedive sharply after that oops (the closing track is a bit better again but still not one I'll be going back to). Still, I am a fan of all of the singles now and 'Woman Of The Year' is my standout from the album tracks, possibly my favourite on the album overall, not that that's that high of a bar tbf, it is lacking anything that's close to as standout as 'Slide' from Vol. 1.

 

The one song that really is as bad as everyone is saying this album is is 'Nothing More To Say', wtf was that x

"Obsessed" is the next single. Not expecting this to do a lot on streaming and sales wise (probably to outpeak its previous peak?), but let's see if this helps the album.
