    This album came with a big surprise, Posty came with a very different footprint and managed to show good songs

    Great album from start to finish. This album is a variety of sounds and lyrics. It is one of the best of the year, frankly deserves a lot of recognition. I would say what is Post Malone's best work to date.

    Overall enjoy the album. I usually enjoy the more pop produced side of Post and figured this album would overall be a step away from it. This is true for a portion of Austin. Those songs are definitely not bad and show the diverse talents of Post. I was surprised to hear the more pop heavy Novacandy and Speedometer. They are a totally different sound and are now in my top Post songs. Chemical grew on me and is 1 of the 3 5☆ star songs from my perspective. While I still prefer the sounds of Hollywood Bleeding and BeerBongs and Bentleys - I do appreciate this album overall. While there are no bad songs- I prefer the more upbeat positive sounds myself - there are a handful of songs on Austin that I would not have in my regular rotation. However on the flip side of that, I have 3 new songs in my all time Post Playlist.    … Expand

    If you’re expecting beerbongs or Stoney you will be disappointed. Post Malone has evolved as an artist and has dipped his toes in the synth pop genre while also keeping some of the same elements of his music that made him famous. Fun listen and a lot of catchy good songs that will grow on you over time.

    Posty did his thing on this record. Some of his best written songs, as well as some catchy pop hits.

    I'll give this album a solid 9. As a Post Malone fan since pre-Stoney, I'll have to admit this album may not be for the casual posty fan. This takes a venture off the edgy and melodic "rap" genre and focuses on a collection of radio-friendly songs. This album will most likely have more longevity than the debut numbers may appear to show. My personal favorites are "Sign Me Up" and "Laugh it Off"

    Although always listenable, Austin soon gets tired and whiny.

    He goes straight for the pop-rock formulae. This would have worked better over a shorter span, but yawning as it does on the same mid-tempo pacing means that tracks blur to filler and some good lines get lost in the sludge. The lack of guest vocalists doesn’t help either.

    Melodic and heartfelt, Austin surprises at nearly every turn, whether that's by an unexpected sonic detour or the simple fact that Post Malone has never sounded this fearless.
