Lucro Sucio Theory

As many others have said, it's quite similar to TMV in a few key ways, though it diverges musically quite a bit.

First off, this is an easy top 5 record for them. It's my favorite of their last 5. I still prefer the first 3 albums ofc but those are such masterpieces and taste makers for me that I'm not sure anything will ever top them. For those that haven't heard the leak or are skipping it intentionally, you're in for a treat.

My theory; I think this was recorded perhaps in the same sessions as TMV or shortly thereafter. It sounds like Willy Rodriguez on the kit. Drum production is similarly... Flat? For lack of a better word. It sounds like the same kit, as well. I heard also that the final track is a rework of an older Omar track.

More fuel to this theory is the short turnaround time since TMV. it's been... Only 2 years since the last record? Cedric has also posted about it a while before this leak. I think it's possible that this was recorded concurrently with TMV or very shortly afterwards and that the session that brought us TMV was an extremely productive one.

This is exciting because if true, it means their output in the future could be insane with this new incarnation of Volta. Great time to be a fan.
