Universal Mind Control 2008 Album

Common

I'm not a big enough fan of Common, nor, at the time of writing this, have I heard enough of his older material to be disgusted at him for going down this path like others are. Production wise, I enjoy most of the songs, which is a surprise given I haven't been a huge fan of The Neptunes lately who produce most of the tracks. Lyrically, it's unCommon like in parts, which brings it down a touch and there are no real outstanding tracks that I see myself going back to in a few months. Edit - I did go back to 'Everywhere'. 3-2.5 / 5. Like 1. Everywhere 2. Inhale 3. Announcement (feat. Pharrell) 4. Gladiator 5. Punch Drunk Love (feat. Kanye West) 6. Changes (feat. Muhsinah) Okay... 7. Make My Day (feat. Cee-Lo Green) 8. Intro/Universal Mind Control (UMC) (feat. Pharrell) Skip 9. What A World (feat. Chester French) 10. Sex 4 Sugar
