    This was an absolute slog with no tracks worth listening to much over time. I'll say it isn't as insufferable as COADM or Supermarket, but it's still a forgettable, dumbed down and useless project in the grand scheme of things.

    For every good song on this album there is a song that makes me scratch my head.

    Very disappointing album that dropped at a very unfortunate time. It was overshadowed by other albums that were dropped at the same time, and rightfully so. It is the fourth and final project in the Young Sinatra series. Don't be fooled, it is not another fit into the previous 3. The album tries to fit in but it just cannot, having a recycled sound to it and being thouroughly boring.

    I see how Logic tried to bring the Young Sinatra vibe, but it wasn't the same.
    Lot of blend production, long tracks and a lot of unnecessary features.
    It was okay, but it wasn't anything good.

    In a way, with all its emphasis on over-achievement and a continuous supply of re-recounted autobiographical content, YSIV can be as mind-numbing as the mumble rap Logic rails against, but the proficiency and fervor are indisputable.

    Logic’s lyrical prowess continues to get in his way on songs like “The Return,” which sounds like a motivational song made for a late night Nike ad.

    Logic rhymes in exciting ways, but the meanings can be a little strained.
