HooooooO: This is a very smart way to start the album. He amped up the theme song to the 80s cartoon Thundercats and made a nice lil intro out of it. Very cool, I dig it.
Daylight: I really dig the feel of this groove. It's got a cool staccato thing going on the synth, contrasted by much more smooth, mellow elements. The keys and vocals really help with that contrast, I love everything they're doing. Great harmonies. Great build throughout. The ending synth arpeggios are pretty cool. There are so many little elements going on within this groove, and I love how they all tie together. Dig the smooth ending. Really chillin tune.
Fleer Ultra: This tune has some really cool meter play going on in it. Great jazz fusion going on. I love the different bass lines going on throughout the tune; they're layered perfectly. I think the synth solo is awesome, but the tone annoys me a little bit - I wish it weren't so harsh. Funky.
Is It Love?: I really like this tune, but I just wish there wasn't as much singing going on. The hook is super, super catchy, but I think he should have kept it with that. It would have been a great element to chop up and play with. That being said, there are some great harmonies going on vocally that really compliment the groove. Man, talk about a killin bass solo! Thundercat really shows what he's all about on this with a super awesome solo. The string groove at the end is very, very sweet - I love the arrangement. That continues with the vocals - great harmonies. The ending groove changes really work with the tune.
