Ambitious, musically impressive, and a bit off-kilter.  An emotionally challenged Kendrick provides us with a project shedding light on his shortcomings as a man, a father, and a public figure.  While at times the content matter may seem cognitively dissonant, this album stands as almost the antithesis to DAMN. in the same respect saying “You aren’t the trauma you’ve endured.”  A big step, if you will.
