GNX is missing something

Before I get downvoted like crazy, hear me out. I absolutely love this album and would give it a 9/10 or higher. But listen…

GNX feels a lot more like a mixtape than an album. The sounds are similar on all the songs, but there feels to be a lack of cohesion. It feels more like a collection of songs.

For most artists this would be normal for an album but Kendrick always seems to take extreme care of his albums. There’s the media theory that I would be surprised for him to break and each album has a cohesive story or message within. GNX doesn’t feel to have that. There are similar sounds and themes but that’s about it. Nothing that runs throughout each and every track.

Also all of the teases by third-party sources hinting at another project it makes me wonder what GNX truly is.

For me, if this is really THE album (which it 99% is let’s be honest) it feels to stand out against his past work. It’s still a masterpiece within itself but there is just something missing from GNX that all of his other albums include. I can’t put my finger on it exactly but this is what I’ve gathered from my thoughts so far.

Am I the only one to one thinking this? I really am enjoying the music before anyone comes in here to tell to me to enjoy what I have.
