For those that may not know, "A Love Supreme" was actually released a while ago as a free download. I scooped it then and it was one of my favorite albums of the year (free OR paid). I purchased this album for a few reasons:

1. U-N-I was nice enough to provide me a super dope album for free, so I wanted to put a little money in their pocket

2. There are a few new tracks on 2.0, including the knockin' "Land of the Kings"

3. I'm very interested to see the DVD that came with it.

Haven't gotten to the DVD yet, but the album is just as expected. Pure, real, and perfect for the summertime cruising. Cop this, you will not be disappointed.

Over the course of the past few weeks I heard a few of the tracks on this LP, including Land of the Kings and Pulp Fiction. Those tracks that I heard were all great, refreshing listens, and I really thought this would be an album that was sonically varied and lyrically interesting to listen to. Unfortunately, A Love Supreme 2.0 is really a boring album. A good portion of the LP pretty much sounds like one really bad Pharrell song (essentially about sex) with some really dull Neptunes-esque production. On this album, U-N-I basically turns out one bad Pharrell knock-off after another (and I love Pharrell). It feels like you hear one beat on this album and then you've heard them all! However, there are some standout tracks which are worth purchasing. Overall, I like U-N-I's image, and they have the right idea with some of the songs on this album, but the rest is truly unremarkable.
