    An album that is clearly having a blast while showing blatant disregard for genre convention. [May 2026, p.37]

    13 glides fluently from the Russ Ballard-ish Chew Nails to the funky Crossfyre, delicious dub-pop of standout Keep Calling Me (Baby) and Beck-ish squelch funk of That's Rap. [May 2026, p.103]

    At the same time, that wide scope can work against the album’s cohesion. Some of the transitions feel abrupt, particularly in the middle run, and the pacing can be uneven as a result. But the trade-off is that the record rarely drags and creates a sense of anticipation for what is coming next.
