Really wish Donald paid more attention to this release, especially with how phenomenal Because the Internet was in terms of packaging and sound. Quiet sections are fantastic, loud sections could maybe be a bit louder in my opinion, but I really do think this is a fantastic pressing, and the mastering seems very good (but I am a mere pleb so take that with a grain of salt).

It was 2011's debut album Camp - his first since signing to Glassnote Records - which marked a breakthrough for Childish Gambino, whose music explores everything from identity, race, and technology to hip-hop culture, class, and family. When he serenades a girl moving to the Golden State over the kitschy calypso beat of “California,” it adds well-timed comic levity to his heavy soul odyssey. With his 2014 EP Kauai, he barely rapped at all, instead offering a short suite of winningly pop meditations on summer romance. is the third studio album by American recording artistDonald Glover, under his stage name Childish Gambino.I was disappointed to see so many people say it sounded bad, I am on side B as I type this and haven't noticed any noise or anything. Over its 40 years in business, PIAS has grown to be one of the largest independently-owned music groups in the world, carving out its own in-house recorded music division PIAS [Recordings]. As it is not in shrink wrap but instead a resealable sleeve, it may indicate it could be Record Industry that has pressed this release. I didn't have the issue of noise or crackling on mine, but as noted on other reviews for the other versions, mine seems VERY quiet compared to my other LPs.

WOW this packaging is way overdone, the box is as thick as a 5lp box set, for a VR headset that became obsolete in less than 5 years.

Every record is shipped in original factory-applied shrink wrap and has never been touched by human hands.

I also own the box set version of this album, but picked up the single disc version today, so I wouldn't have to hassle with the box set. Weird bass sound in redbone but other than that it's pretty clear and well balanced; BG did a great job on this imo. What's even weirder is that other tracks on this record can get the same volume by turning up to ~55%, track 1 was mastered really low in volume, the rest is still lower in volume compared to most records I have.Maybe it's just my ears being strange, but I feel like listening through speakers can remove most of the dynamic issues. Originally hailing from Stone Mountain, Georgia - his Mum was a daycare provider and his Dad a postal worker, where TV was banned in the house - Glover first entered the spotlight as a member of sketch-troupe Derrick Comedy, via a stint working on The Daily Show and the invitation to join the '30 Rock' writing staff by Tina Fey before he'd even graduated from NYU. Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Jalen perform live knows that he is one of the most captivating performers on today's soul scene. Some already anticipated his evolution – he debuted the project during his Pharos Festival at Joshua Tree, California last September.
