Perhaps the crucial moment of \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBryter Layter\u003c\/em\u003e occurs on \"Poor Boy,\" where female backing vocalists seemingly mock the singer's anguished laments. Yet the record also claims a subtle playfulness that again suggests Drake not the miserable soul that he's often portrayed in the media. This LP is a stunning reflection at solitary thought and existence, and the loss that accompanies such states.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\nMastered from the original analog master tapes at Abbey Road Studios by original producer\/engineer John Wood, this sublime reissue is the definitive pressing.
