Detroit producer and MC always seemed much more honored than annoyed when his work was compared to that of the late, so don’t think the sonic surprises on this 2010 effort are driven by a desire to end the association. That said, is a distinct break from the smoky Detroit funk championed, as it pulls inspiration from the worlds of rock and funk-rock. A four-man live band is employed to provide the guitar crunch and acoustic drum fills, but instead of the organic style, cuts these recordings into a stuttering and loopy soundscape that’s entirely hip-hop. These block-rocking beats are irresistible and instantly gratifying as tracks like “Oh Girl” feel both new and comfortable on first listen, but thanks to the man’s growth as a lyricist, the album is also a rich experience that rewards on every return. Chalk it up to the 12 months of person turmoil and joy referenced in the album’s double meaning of a title, as both are communicated vividly.
