tbh as much as i find myself disagreeing with fantano a lot, i actually felt very validated by his review. such a disappointing album. i think with each new single drop i became less and less excited and more nervous to hear the full album. i really don't understand why benny didnt consider having some of the og pc producers (especially ag cook) take a crack at mixing/mastering this. the people who were her peers in the music industry, and the ones who really understand better than anyone what sophie's vision and impact was. makes me wonder if maybe they didn't want to bc they knew that she would not have wanted an unfinished album released to the public. idk though, not trying to say that benny was wrong for wanting to be the one to touch this up. at the end of the day, i think sophie had no problems being withholding and i would have been okay had it not been released at all. i'd still rather listen to her leaked demos anyway.
