Album gets better to me the more I listen to it. I was kinda underwhelmed with Disc 29 at first but now that I’ve sat with this it’s definitely the better of the 2 sides. I seen someone breakdown the album and made the claim Disc 29 is basically FHD part 2 & now a lot of these joints make much more sense thematically. Disc 39 initially I thought was better but it has more of the joints I woulda left off ( Life Sentence, Only You, What If, whole world is the ville) not that they are bad songs but they’re repetitive

Double discs are very hard to do and like @grYmes said he probably couldn’t resist saying he did a double disc, all the hip-hop titans have done one. Its still way too long but if you knocked off those songs I mentioned along with maybe The Let Out ( I understand why its on the album I just still cant get jiggy with it) you probably are looking a better received album all-around. I still have it #4 in his album catalogue (1. Born Sinner 2. FHD 3. The Off-Season) but it could crack top #3 for me.
Its crazy because I wasn't into Born Sinner and Off Season man. Ima have to go back and check them out but my rankings is

1.FNL 2. Fall Off. 3. FHD 4. 4EO
 
Man y'all giving Cole a lot of cool points for "concept." Niggas defending the Let Out off the strength of the idea and nostalgia of club days.

He aint got that skillset in his toolbox, and thats okay.
