When I first heard the buzz about Spirit If... I was somewhat cynical. I have been listening to BSS for about three years now, so I was primarily concerned about a disappointment from a normally strong group of artists. Not only was my apprehension wrong, this is a great album. Drew does an excellent job with the album as a whole and the members of BSS that come on board to help only add more greatness. The opening track on the album, "Farewell to the Pressure Kids", is one of my favorite opening tracks on any album this year, and everything afterward is just great music. The whole album is very cohesive, and has a very smooth pace which carried me through it at least six times.
Throughout the album the tracks "Safety Bricks", "F--ked Up Kid", and "Big Love", really stood out to me as songs I will be listening to for years to come. However, there is one track that stood out to me more than the others, and I think it would be a mistake to not point it out. That being said, my favorite track on the album is "Bohdi Sappy Weekend", which is a somewhat slower paced track, near the end of the album. I think it speaks a fair amount to the album and artists that they could produce something that is as solid a release as this. Overall, a great listen which I feel will earn it's place among many of this year's top album lists.
