    This album is totally great and is my favorite Rocky’s one. It is a shame that Rocky is a bit retarded and partially supports russia with his Z chain

    Clearly, it’s also a druggy album, and the highs are high--noticeably on “L$D,” whose stunning production turns from submerged to soaring, the jiggy “Excuse Me,” and the sexy, aforementioned “Westside Highway,” which has A.L.L.A.’s only hummable hook. Despite those peaks, the overall tone is more despondent

    while it may have a lot of generic rap lyricism, it leaves enough room for meaningful down-to-earth moments that feel genuinely emotional

    This is a great album, obviously Rocky’s best so far. Filled with psychedelic songs, its very enjoyable to listen to. If it wasn’t for "electric body" it would be a 10/10 but sadly this song is awful and makes me want to jump off a bridge. Anyways as I said, great album overall

    This is probably the most beautiful thing i've ever heard, perfect example of what an album should be, this one sure will stick with me, the overall atmospheric cloud-rap vibe is in my opinion, unbeatable. "Holy Ghost" is an amazing way to start the album, and the surprise appearance from Bones on "Canal St.", "Fine Whine", "Jukebox Joints" are probably my favorite tracks on the album,This is probably the most beautiful thing i've ever heard, perfect example of what an album should be, this one sure will stick with me, the overall atmospheric cloud-rap vibe is in my opinion, unbeatable.

LPFJ2 is an instant banger and is the song I'm most waiting for to see live, because I can see the way this could hype an audience up. Holy Ghost had ASAP rapping about his softer more religious side in another RnB influenced track. Jukebox joints is an amazing track which could immediately be identified as a Kanye West production due to the heavy sampling. However, similar to Long Live ASAP, the album was also compiled of wasted and effortless tracks, the only difference being that there is more of them which does infect an albums quality.… Expand

    Holy Ghost-
    This is a great track with a catchy gospel instrumental and a few clever verses here and there. This is one of Rocky's most unique and well done tracks.
    Canal St.- Another great track with a really good Bones appearance. The hook is extremely catchy The instrumental is well done and there are even more clever lines. It's definitely a ear worm track, and one of the best on    Holy Ghost-

    Canal St.-
    Another great track with a really good Bones appearance. The hook is extremely catchy The instrumental is well done and there are even more clever lines. It's definitely a ear worm track, and one of the best on the album.

    Fine Whine-
    The quality just takes a nose dive. Rocky's performance is boring and hard to listen to. The hook is nothing to write home about and then we have 2 AWFUL features from M.I.A and Future. Yes, this is EASILY 2nd the worst song on the album.

    L$D-
    Rocky's singing might be boring, and the lyrics and instrumentals are not good at all, I grew attracted to it for some odd reason. This is an extremely laid back song that can actually be decently pleasant to listen to while you're going to sleep or even while you're making some bad decisions on some good drugs.

    Excuse Me-
    One of the best instrumentals on the track list here. It is for sure catchy, and the hook is pretty well done. While the lyrics are average and have some cringe worthy moments, it didnt take away much of my enjoyment.

    JD-
    It's 1:30 and is just filler. Skip it. No good lyrics or beat to save it.

    LPFJ2-
    Another short song, but it is one hell of a banger. It's an extremely fun and trippy song with no substance in the lyrics. But I do like the trap flavored instrumental a whole lot. I frequently listened to this song.

    Electric Body-
    You think it will start off one way, and it just takes a sharp left turn. It's surprising and it's awesome. The great beat, which is A$AP styled, and the aesthetic are really good. SchoolboyQ does a good job on his verse, and he fits right in there. The end of the song, while the beat is still really good, the singing is just NO.

    Jukebox Joints-
    This song has a feeling that brings me straight back to the 90's and early 2000's. The beat and most of the lyrics are old school, while still maintaining that pop appeal. Kanye West had some great verses, and I enjoyed this song, A LOT.

    Max B-
    Oh My God. Joe Fox and A$AP Rocky pair up with each other on these next 2 songs, and they're amazing. Max B is a very aggressive and dark song. The lyrics and beat are pretty fantastic, and we get to see a whole other side of Rocky we havent seen yet. His delivery is probably the best performance by an artist in 2015. (Snoop in One Shot, One Kill is the best)

    Pharsyde-
    An extremely chill song with very grimy bass, and it's fantastic. some lyrical moments are really good on this song too. joe Fox again is here to say that he is an amazing artist. A$AP has another great performance. Just listen to it.

    Wavybone-
    Track after track Rocky has shown he can be a very good artist. Wavybone is probably the most artsy track on here. The beat has gospel like vocals to back it up with a very jazzy tone to it. I thought UGK and Juicy J had some really good verses, and Rocky proves he can be versatile when he goes in. The lyrics are good and overall, an amazing track.

    West Side Highway-
    This track is okay if you ask me. There is a hook that involves some pretty good and grimy vocals. The song didnt over stay it's welcome, which is good and made me enjoy it a little more. however, this is just a filler track and you don't have to listen to it. But you won't want to kill yourself if you do.

    Better Things-
    This song may take a while to start, but it's still a great track in my opinion. Not cause of the lyrics, but the beat and the aesthetic. The beat is this monotone piano riff that is so freaking catchy. Rocky has another spot on performance. While the hook is weak and the vocals on the 2nd half are just gross, it's still a good track.

    M'$-
    Now, we have our first mediocre song after a while. M'$ has a great beat, but Rocky's performance is SO boring. The lyrics are awful and the quality is all over the place. However, I loved Lil Wayne in this song. The lyrics are still awful, but he goes in HARD, even though his vocals are full of effects.

    Dreams-
    Why we needed this awful interlude on here, idk. It's so bad. 2:17 is still long for this piece of crap. It's the WORST song on the album. EVERYTHING sucks.

    Everyday-
    But thank god, we have this saving grace. Everyday is a great track, and it is just so satisfying. Rocky has another great performance on here, with the best hook on the thing as well. The surprising performance from Rod Stewart just fits in a lot better than I thought he would.
    Back Home- This is the finale, and it ends on a REALLY high note. This track has another great piano beat that is fast and snappy like the flows on this track. What a way to end a great record.    … Expand

    The record also sports some of the most masterfully crafted production on a Hip Hop record in recent years, going toe to toe with Travi$ Scott's "Rodeo". From hazy, immersive low tempo sounds on "L$D" and to an extent "Everyday" ft. Rod Stuart & Miguel, to hard hitting bass rattling bangers like "Max B", "M'$" ft. Lil Wayne and the two punch combo of "JD" and "LPFJ2". A.L.L.A. has got you covered with these treats for your system.

    Even most of the guest artists did their thing. ScHoolboy delivered on "Electric Body", and Weezy snapped on "M'$". Rocky also brought in James Fauntleroy into the mix.

    There were only few missteps on the record. "Fine Whine" ft. Future & M.I.A. just didn't really grab my attention. The same applies for "L$D". Not a bad track per se, I just really didn't care for it. (Or I simply wasn't in a L$D mood)

    A.L.L.A. is an absolute joy to blast in your car, in your house, in your earphones,in your headphones, in your TV, in your.......

    Very Mediocre in my opinion I was expecting more, I had high hopes but I was let down it sounded like it could use some remastering and his lyrics a not that captivating. And as far as Rakim comparisons it would be a disrespectful to Rakim to use Rakim's. As well as A$ap Rocky's name in the same sentence.

    One from the best albums this year. Rocky gave us a great music. ALLA is a really narcotic album, but this is just a style of Rocky. 'Pharsyde', 'Canal St.', 'Max B' favourite tracks.

    Rocky comes through and changes his sound to an extreme druggy feel to it all, which works on some tracks like "Wavybone" and this first half of "Jukebox Joints" but gets way to heavy on many moments on this LP. It has its likable tracks but all together this album it too thick for liking

    Long Live ASAP was a great album but this one is much more. Its a clear improvement with his beats and production. The only complaint I have is his lyrics. While ASAP can make music interesting without really saying anything it still would have been nice to see an improvement in his lyrics. With this new album he's still saying basically the same thing he has been in his previous albums.

I think it's awesome and reassuring that Rocky has departed from his slightly poppy sound on his debut studio album. This is true A$AP Rocky music without the oversight of a label.

Most of all, I love that he created a very unique album in an industry that has many copycats. As a project, it's a little inconsistent with a couple relative duds in the 18 tracks. Regardless, ALLA is a fantastic album that, unfortunately, might get overlooked a little in this standout year in hip hop. ~ 8.2/10

    It seems that even from Kid Cudi’s immediate success, cloud rap hasn’t had the mainstream personality that A$AP Rocky brings to the table. From the Harlem Based A$AP Mob, Rocky’s braggadocios and Fashion Killah personality has been loved by many on his debut album, Long.Live.A$AP. Tracks like **** Problems”, “Wild for the Night” and “Pretty Flacko” brought mainstream hits and star power.It seems that even from Kid Cudi’s immediate success, cloud rap hasn’t had the mainstream personality that A$AP Rocky brings to the table.

Tracks like **** Problems”, “Wild for the Night” and “Pretty Flacko” brought mainstream hits and star power.

    For me, this debut album was a solid effort, but didn’t live up to the expectations from one of my favorite debut mixtapes: Live.Love.A$AP. This mixtape showed Rocky’s ear for fantastic production and his smooth flow that early showed personality and flair in this project, which I loved. At.Long.Last.A$AP combines the two albums and shows much more focus and maturity, where star power doesn’t seem to water the material down as did his debut full length, and makes it an incredible conceptual release.

    Holy Ghost is another incredible opener to add on to the list of great intro songs in Rocky’s catalog. “Holy Ghost, I’m on My Knees” sings Joe Fox in the chorus, who was found in the streets of London by Rocky and Rocky found needle in the haystack, because this mystery person is all over this record. Holy Ghost is an emotional track that deals with Rocky’s personal religion, which we haven’t even gotten a taste in his last two projects. “Canal St.” paints a picture of the iconic New York location with a surprise feature from fellow cloud rapper Bones. The track “L$D” gives us something from Rocky that we’ve never heard before. The Kanye West inspired autotune singing on incredible production puts us in the state of mind Rocky probably was in when making this track.

    “Excuse Me” was another highlight track with a sprinkling strings sample with a hard-hitting beat. Electric Body featuring another incredible feature from TDE member ScHoolboy Q. Although not as hard hitting as “Brand New Guy”, these two, as leaders in the rap world, have showed versatility and personality in this track. Jukebox Joints needs to be addressed as it is a collaboration with Kanye West. I didn’t expect anything less from Kanye’s incredible production, but Yeezy’s verse leaves much to be desired (not that I didn’t expect this since I haven’t been a fan of his recent lyrical work). On the song Wavybone, Rocky again shows his love for Dirty South Hip-Hop bringing on UGK for a powerful track.

    I LOVE M’$. I can talk about the production and Rocky’s great verse, but Lil Wayne is back on one of his best features I’ve heard in years. This Lil Wayne verse along with his verse on Tyler the Creator’s new record has be excited for The Carter 5 even more. The problem with this track is that the following tracks don’t keep the excitement up. We get a dull interlude and a final track from a lackluster Mos Def feature. Although Everyday’s Rod Stewart feature was very well executed.

    This album contains tributes to the late A$AP Yams, who passed away recently to an overdose on “purp drank” or “lean”. This album was exciting, focused, creative, and for the most part had features that were well executed. This is an improvement from his last project, and A$AP Rocky seems to be leading the way for New York Hip Hop.    … Expand

    The first 5 tracks are heavy hitters. With an 18 song track listing, I definitely thought there were a few weak songs that could have been left out. However, this album has pretty much been on repeat for the last week. Overall, it's a very good album with cool beats and good lyrics.

    A$AP's charisma and finesse mostly compensate for his shortcomings as a lyricist. That, combined with the trippy heaviness of Danger Mouse's production, make "A.L.L.A." an album worth spending time with, even dead sober.
