Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. gets flipped on its head in the Collectors Edition CD, released in 2017 with the entire tracklist running in reverse.
The original DAMN. arrived earlier that year as a tense, searching album about faith, fear, fame and fate, and it went on to become the first non-classical, non-jazz work to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music. Lamar always hinted that it could be heard backwards as well as forwards, and this edition puts that theory into practice, beginning with "Duckworth." and ending with "Blood."
Heard this way, the story told across these fourteen tracks takes on a new shape, starting with the near-miss that shaped his destiny and ending on a blind woman and a gunshot. Long-running fan theories about the two possible fates suddenly feel tangible and strangely moving.
The songs themselves remain stunning. "Humble." stomps on Mike WiLL Made-It's minimal piano loop, "DNA." flips mid-song into a ferocious second half, and "Loyalty." pairs Lamar with Rihanna for a sleek, slow-rolling duet. "XXX." brings in U2 for one of the album's strangest left turns.
For anyone who knows DAMN. by heart, this reversed sequence offers a genuinely different listen, and it makes a neat collector's companion to the original.
