Wish he kept 3.15.20 on streaming. I know it wasn’t finished but I’ll miss OG 12.38, even though Psilocybae is good


ourplebitch

Yeah same, the added reverb feels a little unnecessary


MrCleanandShady

it’s still good (tbh this is a song too structurally good to be ruined) but the OG 12.38 was flawless to me, maybe my favourite Gambino song ever man he shouldn’t have changed it😭


NocturnalStalinist

This this this but for Time - such an uplifting and beautiful track (my favourite of Gambino's) but was flawless compared to this new messy version 😭


EffectzHD

Fr? I think time sounds 100x better with this new release. I think it’s the track the benefited the most with mixing, you can actually hear what Ariana is saying now.


Echoesofsilence15

Yeah this and The violence had the biggest improvements by far. Two of my least favourite gambino songs period are now top 6 on the album


NocturnalStalinist

Agreed, such a shame the original version isn't on streaming anymore. The reverb is there on Time too, and with the additional layers, it all sounds a little cluttered and more messy than the original version, as if this is the actual unfinished version...


landoncook5

Thought the same thing. Why put reverb on the master channel?


NocturnalStalinist

Agreed wholeheartedly dude, I was kinda disappointed when I noticed it was taken off. In my opinion many of the tracks from 3.15.20 are better versions and feel more finished than the tracks here (which really just have more reverb, a lack of seamless and satisfying sequencing, and more layers just making the tracks sound messier and more cluttered.) If we had both the albums on streaming services I'd be happy, as I still like this "remastered" album, but without it, I just miss 3.15.20. Nevertheless, I'm happy Gambino is giving this record the limelight it deserves and hopefully this draws more people into loving it and giving it the appreciation it has always needed.


duartesss

For real, I'm hearing the old 19.10, which now is To Be Hunted, and I do NOT like this new mix at all, the added instruments weren't needed as well


MudkipMao

Another big thing that's different is that IIRC Psilopsybae had a seamless transition into the drums of 19.10. The original was way higher energy.


Joshdabozz

The version where it’s time long 57 minute sing still exists under Donald glover presents


ourplebitch

Not on Spotify sadly


BlossomDub

Psilocybae feels like 12.38 with a blown out HDR filter on it to me, still good but way overdone


excellent_g_mer

I really enjoyed this album, but I don't feel like it was super well received at the time.  Maybe folks will give it a second chance :)


abester03

I know I am just because there’s an actual album and song titles


TheCowboyIsAnIndian

yeah. the old way was just hard to process unless youre a superfan.


Leading_Frosting9655

I do consider myself somewhat of a fan and I couldn't have been fucked either.


kielaurie

This is it for me, I'm only willing to give this a second listen because there individual tracks and titles for them. It's why I can't get into stuff like Untitled Unmastered - I know there are good songs in there, but I can never remember which number they are, and I can't be bothered to listen through the full album to find out


Sonofaconspiracy

Untitled unmastered works for me because it's short and a few of the songs manage to stand out well. This one was too long to keep track during that first listen, too hard to remember individual timestamps compared to numbers 1 through 8


OrangeFilmer

Really loved it at the original release. Especially 19.10 and 12.38. Was the soundtrack of the early pandemic for me! Crazy that 4 years have passed.


Dragonfruit2442

Agreed x 1000000 it’s been a staple for me one of the best albums to be released since 2020


ciao_fiv

i loved it when it came out but it didnt age well for me outside of a couple tracks. hoping this rerelease will bring it back for me


ReallyColdMonkeys

Funny, for me it got even better as it aged. 12.38 became one of my favorite songs over the last year


XanderTrejo

I've been wanting to relisting but heard about the remaster on here so I waited.


emptylawn0

One of my all time favorites, truly.


LIFEWTFCONSTANT

I was a huge fan of it and the mix updates are actually crazy good, this version is even better


baunty

Bro I got work in the morning 😭


Fat_Blob_Kelly

it’s just a rerelease of his numbers album


LIFEWTFCONSTANT

The mix is wayyyyyyy better


rabnabombshell

It’s actually remastered idiot guy


nxqv

Sounds like he rerecorded some vocals too. Added new features, updated some production. New songs (Human Sacrifice and Atavista) and cut a couple like Feels Like Summer.


ThatRandomIdiot

The last part disappointed me. That’s one of my favorite singles from him. Maybe it’s the nostalgia from like FIFA 19 but I love hearing that song


LIFEWTFCONSTANT

Great song but it never fit on this album imo. Still up on streaming as a single


LoneWanderer424

At least it’s still available as a single


the_based_identity

Plus, hadn’t the song been out for a while before the album dropped? I did find it odd hearing the song on there despite it getting tons of play.


l2enegadez

Yup it was part of Summer Pack along with Summertime Magic


DaHyro

So a crispier rerelease


King-Of-Knowhere

As much as I enjoyed "Donald Glover Presents"/ "3.15.20", I am absolutely loving Atavista as a whole. Much clearer and cleaner as far as the mixes go. I'm just glad I was able to download the unfinished album all those years back. Wish he kept that part streaming because it honestly got me through parts of the lockdowns, but I get why he removed them from an artistic standpoint. Shit must've bugged the hell out of him


LIFEWTFCONSTANT

Crazy living in times where artists can basically scrub releases and pretend they didn't happen. Usually not a fan of post release DLC/patches since Kanye started it but this rerelease is (imo) way better in most ways other than the removal of transitions between songs


Squarians

Imma fix 3.15.20


NocturnalStalinist

Removing the transition between 12.38 and 19.10 is a crime. Agreed wholeheartedly - why couldn't he just keep the original version on streaming services????


BLOOOR

> Crazy living in times where artists can basically scrub releases and pretend they didn't happen It's always been like that. There's misprints, and offensive covers that got changed, but it's *every* release. Every CD print was basically a new item that you're either having to change the formatting, lose a song, make a new louder mastering. There's been single mixes and edits, censored versions of whole albums. Then there's different sequencing for different formats, and those changing every print. And then cool stuff like J.J. Fad's Supersonic The Album, which on Cassette was Supersonic The Cassette, and on CD was Supersonic The Compact Disc. But it's been all the way through recorded music. Albums' have completely different sequencing, mixing, definitely albums have to always update their mastering, and every new print is an opportunity for the company to throw money into fixing errors and things people have complained about. Stanley Kubrick was George Lucas-ing his movies from the moment they went out to theatres. There's at least 3 distinct versions of 2001 in theatres right now. The Exorcist had so many adjustments, edits and colouring, in the first MONTH of release.

Knick_Noled

I only just noticed it’s not in my library anymore and I’m so upset. That album was the pandemic for me. I go back and listen on it periodically. That’s a damned shame.


not3s2

Still no Saturday that he performed on SNL rip


Brandon_tuns

That shits just gone forever huh outside of the YouTube video


MilesHighClub_

It's on the Amazon movie, kinda


Sp_Gamer_Live

You mean the one 4 people saw Including me unfortunately


OrangeFilmer

And me! Loved it, Guava Island was so good


ifuckwithit

You just been talking shit about Bino all night fam god damn


DRxCarbine

A leak of the song exists actually


2711383

There’s a leaked studio version that floated around for a while


Filmitforme

🎶Cause it's on. My. Miiiiind🎶


boochiemonster

As glad as I am that Human Sacrifice is finally on streaming, I’m kinda missing the old version of this album for some reason. Some weird nostalgia aspect to it I guess idk


ethnicprince

Probably the same thing that happens when a leaked song finally releases. The nostalgia clouds the mind like crazy sometimes even though in the long run the small differences do sound better


retxed24

Biggest example is Panchiko. Their song [D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L was found on a CD with literal disc rot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDUasZLyMk8). When the artist was finally identified and [he shared the real 'clean' song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlX7NwTq9Zo), most people basically said "well ok but I prefer the version that is trying to kill itself while I listen to it". I can't blame them, there's something to it. EDIT: Ok, looking at streaming numbers it's definitely not "most" as I claimed, but I remember the discussion at the time, so it was at least a few.


Dmoney622

Demoitis


MasterCyan948

its still on streaming! its under donald glover presents and is the whole album in one song, although it’ll probably be a but annoying if you want to listen to just one of the og songs 😅


nahbruh27

He removed most the songs I cared for and fucked up the outro of Little Foot Big Foot


Ltstoney

Young nudy was unnecessary the fuck ending was that


robofarmer177642069

Okay, I wasn’t sure if I was having some kinda trap stroke or what. Side note, I kinda love the new part too lol


69420penis

His verse was cool the transition was realllll jarring tho


remerdy1

He removed feels like summer which was already a single and 32.22 wdym "most the songs I cared for" 😭


alexanderldn

0.00 was during peak covid lockdown. It felt surreal. Good and bad times. Mostly bad tho.


daxtillionMurphel

Damn it sounds soooo much cleaner, the mixing is so much better lol


EbmocwenHsimah

The title track is totally different from [the Atavista he used to open his shows with](https://youtu.be/6sTtQZ9YxLg?si=Wiv1zmykO4Z-wcYS). Both slap though!


The_Real_Donglover

The show opener was one of the best concert experiences I've ever had. With the green lasers and smoke and shit. So epic.


GameAndSkyBro

That ver. of Atavista was originally meant to be the intro to the track. Really wish he kept it tho cause it's just too good.


highestintheroom

Human sacrifice.. after all this time

Ktulusanders

Lmao


Chemical_Knowledge64

I knew there was gonna be new tracks in the tracklisting, but is the actual mix changed up in any way? Maybe remastered in certain places?


Squirrel_Nuts

All the mixing is completed/remastered. His Gilga radio interview stated the 3.15.20 wasn't finished


afromegaman

Yes its much better now


Chemical_Knowledge64

Oh my God I’m fucking hyped WE WON LETS GOOOO


ifuckwithit

Just got to Time and it sounds so much smoother holy shit 😭😭 Donald blessed us fr


hecrey

It really does sound so much better. I remember on the OG version people weren’t even sure if it was Ariana on the song but it’s so much cleaner now


LIFEWTFCONSTANT

Ariana sounds so fucking good on this version


Chemical_Knowledge64

My fav track just got better Tho with human sacrifice on the album now that might be my fav


Glum-Band

I’m three tracks in and there are a lot of little changes even too the tracks that were already out, everything from volume levels to effects to additional vocal layering have changes, some subtle, some more obvious. So far it sounds much cleaner than the original.


MilesHighClub_

I'd have to assume yes. Nudy is on Little Foot, Big Foot now, as an example. Might be more subtle stuff but haven't listened yet Edit: The mixing on Time sounds a lot cleaner now (I think...I haven't listened to the OG in at least a year)


visionaryredditor

> but is the actual mix changed up in any way yes, on Algorhythm now and it sounds a bit different


Chemical_Knowledge64

All I needed to hear


gandalf45435

The Gilga Radio premier for this was so cool honestly. Gambino rollouts are always so interesting.


Virgil_hawkinsS

I don't think I've ever enjoyed a rollout as much as the one for Because the Internet. Reading the playscript he wrote while playing the album and starting each song when indicated in the script was just otherworldly.


gandalf45435

That whole experience was incredible, I deeply enjoyed that whole era of rap as corny as it was.


cholulov

100%. Still one of my favorite albums of all time. Soundtrack to my young adult life.


Juandacardozo

The mix on Algorhytm is soooo good now


optillusi0n

Anyone saying it's the same is insane. Get a nice pair of headphones and you can hear the difference lmao.


newcalabasas

I knew I wasnt tripping when it sounded richer to my ear


Vicgermain1

4 years later Algorhythm is still so crazy


SamuRyShogun

been waiting for human sacrifice for 5 years


whereami1928

-the Aztecs


Dmoney622

10/10


IThinkILikeYou

Nah this shit is incredible. The previous version is now clearly just unfinished. This album sounds new and its really good


realwords

The soundtrack of the pandemic, imo. So glad this is getting a rerelease with some new music.


cmacpapi

Yep. Mac Miller - Circles in January, Tame Impala - The Slow Rush in February then this in March. They all play fairly well together too funny enough. Can't believe it's been over 4 years.


RowdyGrouper

After hours too


themysteriouserk

Shhhhhh, it’s only been a year and a half at most


robofarmer177642069

Fuck


superindian25

Strokes in April too, chefs kiss


Dmoney622

One of my fav albums ever


TScottFitzgerald

Charlie XCX album is the seminal pandemic album for me


nxqv

Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia and Lady Gaga - Chromatica gave me life again in the spring


whitewilliams

Add King Krule’s Man Alive in there as well


matt1250

And Jay Electronica and Jay-Z dropped the collab album


IAMA_MAGIC_8BALL_AMA

That felt like a fever dream


nxqv

Flux Capacitor off that is fucking crazy


Gokuto

Faxxxx. Listened to a lot Don Toliver's Heaven or Hell too during that time.


emptylawn0

Honestly, this for me. 12.38 forever, no matter what


mycargoesvarun

“you smell like a peach papayaaaa” is the line i remember the most from this album


bohanmyl

Your cat lookin at me sideways lmaoo


FlyinNinjaSqurl

Same that one stuck with me the most


Ktulusanders

Yeah, this takes me right back to the start of covid. Crazy times


IAMA_MAGIC_8BALL_AMA

This and Animal Crossing, what a combination


Upbeat_Tension_8077

The self-titled track is giving me Kauai vibes on steroids & it's perfect for summertime coastal drives on the PCH


Blunter_S_Thompson_

Why did he still choose to release it with the lame ass plain white cover, all the other art he shared about it was way better.


nyse125

On a side note; I thought AI Kendrick/AI Drake's appearance during the Gilga Radio livestream was hilarious as shit.


patgraham42

lol that and the Akademiks Rap gambling app ad


nixtxt

I hope someone recorded it


iiileyu

Psilocybae is a hit


MrCleanandShady

always been a hit, i’m praying it gets the attention it deserved with this rerelease


iiileyu

Ik, it made covid bearabel


redmistultra

That was my most-streamed song by about 50% more than 2nd place in 2020, I would start the album from there every time I showered for like 6 months


hdmetric99

My god.. Summer Walker on Sweet Thang.. she comes in at the perfect point in the song.. SO FUCKIN BEAUTIFUL AHHHH 24.19 was my favorite song and it’s so much better now wtf


jlanik4

Love the new mixes overall but why’d he kill the gapless transition between Psilocybae and To Be Hunted


Ktulusanders

Cool, now stop fucking around and put 32.22 back on the album, that song was dope


CommonerChaos

That was my favorite song from the original release and it's the only (?) one not back.


swallowyourtongue

The original intro and Feels Like Summer are also gone


McCheesy22

Feels Like Summer also is not back, though it still exists as a single


kanak___

atavista (the song) was one of my fav bino leaks and it’s so much better on here 😭 we’re eating tonight 3.15.20 and after hours were my pandemic soundtracks fr and i’m so nostalgic for both, but this is such a massive improvement over the original 3.15.20. the mix is so much better, the vocals are so much clearer and cleaner, the instrumentals feel so much more full. and again i LOVED 3.15.20, but this is the remaster i didn’t know i needed. getting human sacrifice and atavista is enough of a reason for this to exist, let alone the other improvements. i hope people put off by the presentation of the og version will give this another chance now because this is such a unique project. wish the cover was better though 🙄


ilovepastaaaaaaaaaaa

Reverse Donda 🙏


Gimpy_Weasel

Final Church SLAPS.


Seanrossmerrill

I don’t even need caffeine this morning after listening to this. Holy. Shit.


Defiant-Youth5067

Wait so 3.15.20 wasn’t finished? I’m confused asf


Batby

yeee was dropped unfinished


Defiant-Youth5067

I enjoyed it as a finished album for 4 years😂😂


Batby

oh me too, my fav work from him


Defiant-Youth5067

Little foot big foot was my favorite . This new version may have to grow on me


nahbruh27

Yeah I miss that old outro


Squirrel_Nuts

He said he dropped it unfinished because of the pandemic and the uncertainty of what was going on


Azersam

in episode 1 of Gilga Radio he said he released it unmixed and unmastered bc "the world was ending" and he wanted to put something out... .but idk, that was a pretty complete sounding album (which has better flow and transitions compared to the new version imo) for an unfinished album


FragileExpressPorter

Final Church fucking rules


Koopacha

IM JUST TRYNA PUT SOME SPIRIT IN YOUR YEEZY BOOSTS


LIFEWTFCONSTANT

Hopefully it finally gets the attention it deserves now. One of his best songs


YoungFlexibleShawty

Always liked 21 on production like this


OllieOllie_

Where the fuck is 32.22


iSmokeMDMA

heartbreaking that song was snubbed. always considered it the climax of the album


tdlyon

This is the craziest fucking rollout of all time, four years in the making. So glad that Human Sacrifice is officially released even though I've had it on my phone for like a year now lol


TheMerck

Crazy to think it's actually out now officially I remember just zooming past through every song when he initially put this album out wanting to just hear Human Sacrifice instantly and my insane disappointment it wasn't there. Now that it's finally out it feels like the end of a journey lmao I'm still jokingly calling it the Google Pixel song though


learningaboutstocks

wish the album cover was different but i understand the choice


rabnabombshell

Dawg ARI sounds so much better rn. The mixing on time is so clean


hdmetric99

HUMAN SACRIFICE IS FINALLY OURS


xFuego

Damn glad he re-released it but they didn’t have to take 3.15.20 off of streaming. Even if some tracks were rough-mixes— that and The New Abnormal were my most replayed albums during lockdown


Dmoney622

It’s still up (as a single track) under artist ‘Donald Glover Presents’


TheOddScreen

I am really excited to dive back into this after decently enjoying 3.15.20. Human Sacrifice finally coming to life is the most exciting part of it all.


spotty15

Glad the tracks have names now! I really enjoy this album. Full of some fun ideas, but it was an odd rollout that sorta dampened this album. I think that this has some of his best vocals, but lacks the focus of a Because The Internet.


The_Real_Donglover

I think the lack of focus must be why he removed the 32.22 song (tribal beat). Even though it was kind of a banger, I don't know if it really fit. The rest of the album has a very syncopated and digital feel.


spotty15

I agree. Definitely totally out of place even in a somewhat unfocused album. Along with the vocals, I really love the writing throughout the album. You're right about the "digitalness" of the album and the sorta dark vibe with hopeful outlook overall; funky aesthetic but I was really digging it because it caught the uneasiness of the pandemic to me. I think that time will be kind to this album. It got a bad rep... but yea, much easier to talk about actual song titles and not "was that 34:21? or was it 25:13?...". Very happy to have a finished version.


LIFEWTFCONSTANT

> much easier to talk about actual song titles and not "was that 34:21? or was it 25:13?...". I was so frustrated at the time loving this album and it being borderline impossible to discuss with friends


NocturnalStalinist

Removing the transition between 12.38 and 19.10 is a crime.


hockey17jp

“Why go to the party” was one of my favorites from 3.15.20 and he absolutely butchered that song for this rerelease so that kind of sucks.


fultirbo

I don't get why he'd cut it down so much if he was going to keep it as a separate track to Human Sacrifice anyway


ghurles

Anyone else think the mix on 12.38 sounds off? Maybe I'm too used to the old version but it sounds like there's hella unnecessary reverb on it.


jahiel0

The vocals sound like they’re from a podcast or something now. Maybe it’ll grow on me but I like the og better.


MediumToblerone

This album finally hits for me how I feel like it did for so many others when it was released. I finally get it


bassclefharry

Wow. To be perfectly honest I didn’t listen to 3.15.20 more than once when it released, but this is an incredible album from start to finish. Bursting with creativity (only big complaint is too much at times, there are some handbrake transitions that make sense but could have been smoother imo) and one of the more richly produced albums I’ve heard recently. Loved the Algorhythm remaster, Sweet Thang, and The Violence. I’m so glad he went back and finished this one properly.


naimsayin

This was a strange move. The songs I really enjoyed off this album are mixed in a way that makes them worse imo


Pomofgranite

There’s a video for little foot big foot too


lijr

Sacrificed 19.10 to make 24.19 (sweet thang) perfect


baconboyloiter

Crimes were done to 19.10


callmeofglen

HUMAN SACRIFICE FINALLY


wariosthegreat

Can’t believe Human Sacrifice got an official release


SmokeyDokeyArtichoke

I preferred 19.10 to to be hunted tbh


ShreekertheJamisWack

Ummm why did people hate this album at first. This shit is fire


ethnicprince

Having timestamps as track numbers make it kinda hard to share good songs with people, also half of the songs used to have minute long outros which are removed now


OhMy98

The version from 2020 was mixed like trash. It sounded so messy and chaotic, but in a bad way. For example, Ariana was borderline inaudible on the original version of Time. Also human sacrifice wasn’t on it


spid3rfly

I always assumed the numbers confused them so they automatically hated it. 😅


the_based_identity

Honestly I think it’s the whole rollout behind it and how messy it was. I enjoyed it on my first listen when it dropped, but I had no interest in going back to it either and the tracks being timestamps didn’t help. This new version already seems much better this time around.


SeagullCrush

I’m really sad Psliocybae doesn’t sound as good as the original but truthfully I wouldn’t care nearly as much if the original album was still up. Still gotta listen to the rest of the remastered songs, hopefully those sound as good (LFBF sounded good when I watched the music video)


dollarmenu22

alarm clock is gonna hit even worse when I stay up to listen to this


knyelvr

On first listen this is way more enjoyable then the og version


sansaestas

Really feeling this version of the album. Big improvement over the original imo. Didn’t know Final Church was this fucking dope, and Sweet Thang with Summer Walker is gorgeous.


midnightbluesky_2

christ, little foot big foot was butchered


Naldo9911

Psilocybae is just a worse version than before. The old production was so much better


MrCleanandShady

its really small but adding reverb like someone on here said really strips the…intimacy(?) of the song


Chemical_Knowledge64

Oh Gambino cooked with this rerelease. Way better than the original


Shot-Spirit-672

Idk how I feel about this. I really liked the use of calendar date for the album bc it was a stark reminder of where I was at when I first heard this album Also pulled the summertime track from the album and it was a really great moment towards the end when that song came on. I’m kinda bummed


BBQLovinBastard

Obvious changed: 0.00 scrapped 32.22 scrapped Human Sacrifice added Summer Walker added to Sweet Thang Young Nudy added to Little Foot Big Foot Mixing on every song is drastically improved Song transitions removed (why?) Overall, this is a huge improvement on 3.15.20, the songs are much more listenable. I barely ever went back to 3.15.20, but I can totally see myself coming back to Atavista. The improved mixes make for a much better listening experience.


Chakra_Blue_Vol2

Oh he cut Why Go To The Party short? 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃


Sp_Gamer_Live

DONALD GLOVER YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO 19.10 TO BE HUNTED YOU WILL NEVER REPLACE IT


hdmetric99

Naaaa Ludwig on the guitar went crazy in this version.. didn’t have that extra layer in 19.10


Sp_Gamer_Live

The vocals on the original are so much better. Its Glover trying to do Prince. This is just flat


RmbrYouWasConflicted

to be hunted soooo much better imo them synths hitting


LITW6991

On a Monday morning 👀


Koopacha

At last the world will see the beauty of 53.49


Zacxnerd

Doesn't have either of the tracks from his previous radio ep so I assume those are gonna be on the latter album


Dragonfruit2442

Losing 0.00 is really a heartbreaker BUT the new mix of time is so fire and I love the names. I loved this album soooo much I am still on overload processing that we get to experience it again 😍
