I love this site but question how the rating could change so drastically.

Stylistically your could either say its all over the place or eclectic, depending on your level of hatred at any given moment. Home studio producers need to take note on the high fidelity of these recording. Ultimately, it is what separates them from reaching their true sounds potential. Summer Maddness S.A. is definitely my favorite track on the album. Though Riggs bread and butter may be his jazz reprises, those and the brazilian flavored tracks sound like pages ripped straight out of Madlib’s catalogue (Shades of Blue & Jackson Conti). All good though, Riggs definitely didn’t fall short production wise, but there is a separate talent that comes with piecing together a brilliant album with continuity that is truly lacking. However, it must be said that Karriem Riggins is definitely one of the most polished true school hip hop producers doing it, especially if your looking to spice up your album with a handful of sophisticated tracks (uhh hrrmm.. *looks at Common*).
