Odd Future/Legacy, 2014. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $36.99 37.99
Wolf sounds almost pretty from the first few seconds of the intro, but soon after the soft opening, the gritty beat drops, the gravely/growling vocals kick in, and the wild mix of comical and caustic rhymes let you know good and well that Tyler The Creator's back.
