@capnbobamous just finished listening to it, took one full listen and repeated a couple tracks. I also listened to bits of Ginger and Iridescence just to remind myself for comparison sakes.
My first impressions is that Roadrunner feels tighter and more consistently great to me, while Ginger is front loaded with its best tracks, and it can feel a bit samey later on. Roadrunner has a better flow from track to track, although there's 1 or 2 transitions that sounded weird. I also feel that Roadrunner is much stronger when you listen to it as an album, it's one of those albums where context matters a lot. I like the rock and jazz influences in some of the tracks (like those guitars in The Light, which is easily my favorite track from the album). Ginger's melancholic vibe is something I really dig though. They're both really catchy overall. Loved both of them, but Roadrunner is certainly the better album.
I won't even bother comparing them too much to Iridescence because that album just feels so different to me. It can get quite crazy and scatterbrained at times, but I do enjoy the album as a whole, that's part of the charm for me, I guess. I think there's some really wild tracks there (J'OUVERT is still one of my favorite Brockhampton tracks ever), but it's not their best work for sure.
P.S. listened to it a few more times, I think I'll stand by with my first impressions.
