I'm deliberately not listening to this album too often, because I know, like the whole woods catalogue, I will be listening to it for years and years to come and it always takes time absorb his wrtiting. The guy's an all-timer - can't think of anyone who has a discography that compares when you consider the quality he achieves over such a volume of output. Great to have him back over Segal beats too.

Just saw Armand Hammer live in Melbourne Australia, they dim the lights! lots of smoke, it was like being at a doom metal show, it was intense and awesome. I agree with Mike, Maps is better than Hiding places, def AOTY. pretty crazy that this guy has potentially dropped 2 of his best albums in the past 12 months of his long career. He told ppl at the gig that a new Armand Hammer record is dropping later in the year. Would love to know if Mike sees a similarity between Woods and MF DOOM, flow style. they are my 2 favourite rappers
