This is obviously a 5.
The run up to the release with the reports on the album saying it was weird and dark, felt like it was going to be a special release. Two videos dropped which I tried to avoid but did see before the release. Pre ordered album and got it in the post a day or two before he died.
Not going to review the album too much because we've all heard it and know what it sounds like. It is dark, jazzy, sad and beautiful. Big Dave said he wanted to write a play and make an album with a jazz band and this was him doing that before he died.
The most emotional listening experience I have had and will ever have with an album. Never expected to hear new music and he drops one more classic for the fans. RIP Dave.
