ill need to listen to it again first as not heard it in years but but i think its really underrated - its basically tribe responding to slum village, but without sounding like they arent tribe anymore, they changed how they flowed, experimented with different flows when they could have just stuck with their usual patterns, and they adopted that dilla sort of syncopation but still kept the typical tribe drum sound.
i dont see how it was desperately commercial (its actually their artiest, most conceptual album, sonically) - find my way was a bit more R&B, but it wasnt like stressed out with faith evans on the BRL album. TLM was actually pretty NON commercial as an album at that time - it had a pretty unified sound, which was rare at that time in rap when albums started to have a bit of everything on them, and the sound itself was definitely not what was being played on the radio. de la were getting more boring, but tribe were actually interested in doing something new.
