It never stood out to me but I'll check it again tonight bc Ghost is one of my favorite rappers individually despite not having many full albums I like. Wallabee Champ, Clientele, and Ironman are just so much sharper to me. 36 Seasons and sour soul are fun too but not on the same level
I can't say it stuck out for me for a good while either. But I revisited it when VMP pressed it and it really grew on me to a point that's its probably my 4th favorite Ghost album behind Ironman, Clientele and 12 Reasons to Die.
 
Some great list guys.

TBH these are the only special ones for me so far.

  • DJ Muggs & Rigz - Gold
  • Roc Marciano & The Alchemist - THE ELEPHANT MAN'S BONES
  • Black Thought - Danger Codes
  • Armand Hammer - WHT LBL
  • Benny The Butcher - Tana Talk 4
  • Conway - God Don't Make Mistakes
  • $uicideboy$ - Sing Me a Lullaby, My Sweet Temptation

Need more time with the rest before I can decide on a proper 10
 
NOPE.

Fucking clown show over at that "label." That guy is wack as fuck
The fact that there's still plenty of records available across all of their releases, even with the limited quantities, other than Reasonable Drought says it all about them. I don't know why any artists team up with him too.

He posted that he was putting up more copies of Reasonable Drought, too

I did see that. I have absolutely no issue with repressing a record, but don't sell me a limited and numbered version, send it to me numbered with a different quantity than originally stated, and then go and press even more.
 
For the toy collectors out there

 
Haven't all other ALC drops started at $40?
For drops on Al's site, yeah. Seems like Roc is taking the initial release on this one. It still may be $40 on Roc's site, but when I look at the current prices of things there they all start at $50. And who knows, there may be a second alternate cover or deluxe drop of it on Alc's site down the line.
