Not surprsingly, sharing a release date with Kanye West prompted many critics to compares the two. MTV.com’s Nadeska Alexis also took care to highlight Cole’s production successes, “One of Cole’s most grandiose production moments on the album comes on ‘Trouble,’ where you might be compelled to restart the track and turn up the volume to properly prepare for the avalanche of bass and choir vocals that kick in as the Roc Nation rapper paints a dark picture of all the trouble that follows a Born Sinner with his ‘god flow.’ The evolution of his production is evidently clear.” Cole, for on almost every song, he puts in extra work to take the production beyond the usual looping rap track and transforms them into something bigger and more moving.”

Cole’s sophomore album finally hit stores this week, going toe-to-toe with Kanye West’s highly anticipated Yeezus.
