The "Bad (Remix)," which for the album’s purposes has effectively replaced the original bad, might just find its way to a radio near you solely on the strength of a Rihanna hook, but otherwise, it’s a frankly unremarkable song. He spends the rest of the album ensuring he crosses off everything on the “Make a hit album” checklist, and now that he’s got "Lotus Flower Bomb" to his credit, he can’t help but take another shot at rap/pop/r&B crossover magic. Throw "88" into this group and you've got a solid album… The similar album opener, "The Curse of the Gifted," falls a little flat, he sounds oddly disinterested in his own song, but that’s not a problem on album standout "Heaven’s Afternoon." With MMG’s Meek Mill riding shotgun, this is some of that classic dope rhymes over a dope soul sample hip-hop lovers won’t be able to avoid. It’s a style that he used on Ambition, and it returns in full here, most powerfully on "Golden Salvation." A full choir, a soaring piano line and some seriously lyrical rhymes that flow from unabashed stunting to thoughtful introspection, this is when Wale is at his best.
