Oh yeah Trees & Truths is very very good, and much more similar, sonically speaking, to The Water[s] - plus the running theme is pretty cool as well. I think I actually prefer all of his mixtapes to this album, which is bizarre because of how great I thought THC had the potential to be. The Water[s] might never be touched by him again, but that's more of a praise on how perfect I think that tape is than a slight on Mick.
If I had to rank his works:
The Water[/s] > Mickstape >/= Trees and Truths > Wave[/s] > THC
(haven't spent enough time with Pursuit of HappyNess, but it has some killer tracks so id probably put it between T&T and Wave[s])
his discography to date is still incredibly good.
