    If he’s truly finished recording music, then perhaps this album will stand not as his thesis, but his instruction manual to others: a masterful, deeply knowledgeable but rather brittle read.

    Plenty of moments on The Fall-Off remind of the hunger of his early mixtapes, the purposeful thrills of his 2010s hits, or even the misguided zaniness of KOD, though none materialize in meaningful doses.

    Cole can still tear through a verse with athletic verve, which he does on “Two Six,” and his writing can be technically impressive at times, but outside a few disastrous attempts at singing, the effort on display here is mostly just that: effort.
