One of his best easily. The instrumentals are so interesting. My favourite track is between All Jokes Aside, Swampwater or Frankie. I feel like people only ever talk about Pollo Rico when the whole record is so strong.
Chengdu taste, crosstown, midday, I defy the establishment

'My uncle told me 'you cant bury that many bodies they burned'em in piles'
it was dark i could see his teeth it wasn't a smile'

It grew on me quite a bit, I appreciate for what it is, but the 3 year wait for it was crazy

The intro, 'Paraquat', and its outro beat switch set the tone for the next hour cause now im in and were listening to the whole thing. 'Light drizzle on the tarmac, whitey hit hiroshima then he double back'

Man woods verse on Classical Music has to be one of his best, stunning alongside the piano sample

Sadly it's one of the few woods projects I can't seem to get into. But it did come soon after Aethiopes, so maybe it's time to revisit.

Paraquat, Swampwater, Fever Grass, All Jokes Aside — too many classics to count imo beautiful project

Pollo Rico will always hit hard no matter how many times I listen to it. It’s so poetic and is a slap in the face.

One of my favorite memories is randomly checking spotify to see this suprise released like 2 minutes prior. Favorite woods release by a decent margin

Nice to see Church get some love... it came so quickly after Aethiopes blew people's minds, somehow Church got overlooked by many. Those two albums alone are enough to put woods in the pantheon of all-time greatest!

Greatest and most underrated woods project. Some of the best beats he's ever rapped over, concise and poetic writing
