"Overall, this album is incredible and is on par with a lot mainstream top albums artists such as Drake and Kendrick Lamar. The production is outstanding as all the beats hit hard and fill the tracks with emotion. Lecrae is at his lyrical and raw honest best, and the songs resonate. Every song and guest feature is memorable and essential to Anomaly as a whole."
