#1434 Aim - Cold Water Music

I wanna love this - it's got all these parts lying around, these banging beats, these sick Binary Star / Organized Konfusion -era raps, this atmosphere, but it's all at odds with itself - the mellow bits break up the hype, the hype fucks up the atmosphere, the whole thing reads demo or mixtape more than album. Maybe I can get my head around its lack of consistency, its indirect route to the heart of the matter, but this is all promise for now 3/5
