Whilst it doesn't benefit as much from nostalgia and lacks perhaps an ultra flagship track a la Nakamarra, this one is immensely stronger as a record. All this being said, it would be a sin to miss this record, as you might just be missing the evolution of "future soul." The lyrics might be written about simple things, like old video games for instance ("Atari"), but they're backed by a musical ensemble that is as complex and carefully structured as the newest video games out there. From Nai Palm's sublime and intimate vocals to Perrin Moss' smooth-as-butter drumming, everything here sounds so passionate and involved that is hard not to fall in love with it. This is a good thing, because that style is something all their own, dubbed "future soul", and it never fails to impress. Though extensively eclectic, each song from the album contains a style, an image, that never wavers. Utilizing a gorgeous combination of neo-soul, electronic, funk, rhythm and blues, jazz, world music, and the occasional sprinkling of hip-hop, Hiatus Kaiyote has released one of the most ambitious and gratifying records of the year so far. Never have I stumbled upon an album as adventurous, playful, or stimulating as Choose Your Weapon sure, those sentiments might be magnified, but as you go on a journey through what Hiatus Kaiyote have on display, the words I speak will eventually transform into nothing except the truth. This really is some multi-dimensional, polyrhythmic gangster shit. too bad since what it works, works really well The tracks that truly shine are overwhelmed by a plethora of truly poor half-assed tracks that you can enjoy only if you're an hipster with ham in your ears. This is the best album that i\\\\\\\'ve (n)ever heard in my entire life.
