Sorrow Tears and Blood: This is a pretty cool tune, and definitely different from the ones preceding it. I dig the feel of the intro, it makes me feel like I'm inside the tornado in the Wizard of Oz. There's a great "world music" sound to this - lots of different mixtures of latin, tribal - I dig it. Oh hey, Common! Diggin the spoken word he's putting down. I can get down with the mellow groove that the song eventually gets into, but I dig the initial groove better - I'm glad it turns back around. Solid vocals, but no surprise there. Everything about this tune is much more relaxed than the majority on the rest of the album. Like I said, pretty cool tune.
Sweet Sour You: Initially, I wasn't sure how I felt about this song being the closer. It's an interesting track, the instrumentation and harmonies are very unique, but I was wondering how strong this track was as the ending point. The B section groove is so on point though, it made me change my mind. The groove is super steady, which is always good. Love the "oo oo's" at the end. I dig it.
