Good Sophomore Album

The fire, spirit and energy of Logic, the Def Jam flow-smith from Gaithersburg, Maryland, could not be contained one more year without the release of another vast hip-hop LP of lyrical aesthetics and cerebral conditioning. He has quickly followed up his 2014 debut Under Pressure with a new studio project of greater ambition, titled The Incredible True Story (released Nov. 13). Like Under Pressure, this sophomore effort from Visionary Music Group's most celebrated artist is a lyrics-fest that flaunts Logic's crisp chops over tappable music by Logic himself, 6ix, C-Sick, DJ Khalil and several others. Working around a set of skits that focus on a space team in search of a livable planet after a future Earth apocalypse, The Incredible True Story is in fact an incredible story in which Logic shows no paucity of persistence, confidence and logical intelligence.
After the initial warmup phase and some requisite boosting, boasting and bragging (necessities of the culture), Logic openly reveals his life and inner thoughts for us to explore and contemplate, having proved in the first five songs with his neat fantastically fast delivery that he can compete at the highest level in the sport of rapping. In "Innermission" featuring Lucy Rose, he candidly shares his dreams, worries, memories and his higher goals and aspirations, and later on he states his intention to "make a difference" in "Lord Willing."
The album's midpoint dividing line marked by "City of Stars" presents Logic singing in the style of Kanye West circa 808s & Heartbreak with him reveling in outer space, defending Drake and showing his disapproval of race-amplification in hip-hop. He is keenly aware of some of the major problems of the world today in the Dria-assisted "Stainless" saying we're "living in a world where the truth dies and hate multiplies" and by admonishing us to "stop spending money on things that glisten." Fast forward to "Never Been," and Logic again shares more of his learned values like "climbing over ego to master will." The album ends with a classically happy ending in the concluding title track when our space travelers land on Planet Paradise and voilà!... they find exactly what they've been looking for all along.
Short in modesty yet cohesive and cleverly produced musically, The Incredible True Story is intentionally idealistic and sweetly, almost naively optimistic, but for Logic, he also knows that in life, pain is not an option. It's a guarantee. The whole album is a fight (the good kind), where Logic won't take a dive or "no" for an answer, where the many messages are so dignified and humbly balanced that it's impossible to call them moral lip service. While Logic may seem more concerned with exercising his voracious vocal cords than slowing them down to say something really crazy, the fact remains that he has put together a real first class hip-hop album once agai

I actually first heard Logic when Under Pressure came out. Although that was a good album, Logic really shines in his follow up album. It's a concept album centered around a crew traveling through space. Without spoilers, anime fans will be pleased with one of the crew members.
Logic sounds completely in control on this album. His lyrics compliment the beats and the album sets a very relaxing mood. If you want some great hip hop that stands on it's own two feet, grab this album!

I heard Logic spit a freestyle on Sway in the morning. I knew he had something. His first album was refreshing. But this is number 2. This time around I think he tested his creative vision by telling a lyrical story. Something not new but kind of new again for today's listeners. I just hope he continues to grow and is recognized for his talents.

As always Logic starts where he left off from his debut album with this. The whole concept and storyline is amazing. I liked his 1st album better because I could feel the hunger in it, but this is nice also. The production on this one is superb

Logic is completely looked over in a whole of music that only looks forward to catchy tunes. Deep lyrics and a style that is unlike many of today's artist, this album deserves a buy. You won't regret it.

After hearing a few songs by Logic on Pandora, I was excited when I saw
an album on the shelf at my Best Buy. I immediately purchased it and have had it in my car cd player ever since! Very enjoyable!

Not a week goes by that I don't listen to this album. And each time I have a song that I rock to even more. Whether its Fade Away or I Am The Greatest.
Worth the buy!

Logic is a beast. If this album doesn't prove it, look up the video of him on hot 97 freestyling while solving a Rubik's cube. So sick!

So at first experience, I was quite thrown off from these songs since they didn't sound normal. Until upon further research, this cd i like a play! So I tried it again and listened from beginning to end and I was able to truly enjoyed the cd to the fullest
