Stop being so uncultured, do yourself a favor, and go listen to Mach Hommy’s new album. Donald is decent, but Mach Hommy is what he aspires to be. A true icon. Time to level up your music taste. You’re welcome.

It’s everything 3.15.20 was but cleaner and it’s about this dude released something

This man can do anything he wants and pull it off. Fantastic artist, every track is a gem.

All though this feels complete, sounds better and flows better. Why go the party shouldn’t have been made so short, and little foot big foot’s original version was better. That beat switch on that track was incredible. Didn’t need a random rap verse. Glad I own the vinyl of the original because they took the original album off streaming services.

Some might misinterpret this as a re-release of 3.15.20 with additional tracks and names for those previously released, but it goes beyond that. Everything has been cleaned up and mixed better—a lot of the vocals are cleaner and clearer now. There’s additional musical flourishes, instrumentation, effects, and vocals on most tracks. The better mix goes a long way just by itself—Time gets a pretty substantial facelift, and is now a song that I won’t skip. Sweet Thang was a song I liked in the previous release, but it is much improved with the Summer Walker feature (she finishes out the song with verses previously sung by Childish Gambino in the initial release). There are some songs omitted, but I think this finalized version of the album is more cohesive without those tracks. I enjoy Feels Like Summer, but it never really felt like it fit in with the rest of the tracks. The other two—0.00 and 32.22 aren’t really missed by me. They feel like unfinished concepts and were a little jarring upon my first listen of the previous release. The new tracks (which were teased for years) are a nice addition and fit in nicely. Some people may disagree, but I like that the transitions between tracks have been cleaned up, shortened, or omitted completely. It makes listening to a single song much smoother, and also makes queuing up several different songs or creating playlists a lot smoother. I think the only real critique I find valid is that the original release feels more raw—while this release is more cohesive and well polished, there is something about the original unfinished version that this loses. It’s similar to comparing a live version of an album to the studio version. Some people will prefer one over the other, and they both have different things going for them. The original definitely still has its place. Personally, I prefer the initial version of To Be Hunted (the edited version is still good, it just feels a little sterile). While it is unfortunate that the original is unavailable (outside of YouTube), I understand that it is an unfinished product, and this finished version is what fits Gambino’s artistic vision. If not for the pandemic, we wouldn’t have gotten 3.15.20—we’d have something different (and likely different from this release too). I’m really glad I checked out this album—when I first saw the tracks posted, I thought it was just a straight re-release with track names. Like, ‘oh, they’re just trying to make his catalogue a little cleaner’. There’s more going on than initially meets the eye.

about time this mfa made music

not one miss on this one. one of the greatest creatives / artists in our generation. Better appreciate it!

When an album is as good unfinished as 3.15.20 was you know it’s gonna be fire once it’s finished and now 4 years later we have that and this time with Human Sacrifice, which I’ve been waiting eagerly for since 2018!

I’m so happy this album is finished and has reached its full potential! 🔥😎🤘

These are all old songs
