Jan 22, 2020Beautiful as **** feels like a complete album and it goes really well with swimming. I love the chill vibe and he just is real on it. Not a banger but still really special ❤
-
Jan 18, 2020Intmate, sensitive. Well produce and written. Every word, flow and instruments talks to each other with beautiful harmony and the feeling put by Mac in the music by the way he sing just flavors the music it self. A beautiful goodbye for one of the greatest musician of the last decade.

Mar 20, 2020Malcom’s final album, Circles, represents the beginning of something more. Circles is arguably his best album. It’s exciting, yet upsetting, to know Mac had finally found his place in music and had delivered a wonderfully-written masterpiece.
-
Jan 22, 2020This album is hard to make a review cause is extraordinary in many ways thanks to Mac for this wonderful gift.

Jan 22, 2020Es interesante como la muerte de un autor puede cambiar el significado de su obra. Cuando es una obra póstuma ese sentimiento se potencia
-
Jan 18, 2020Whole album is full of emotions, thoughts and different feelings... Mac's death really gives this album a strange effect. It's really hard to not weep while you listen those songs. After all, Mac perfectly delivered his message to listener and that's the most important thing in this album, he showed his world, showed what's inside his head and heart.
-
Dec 7, 2020actually that album deserves a solid 90 and more. bc it's a masterpiece. like, the best work from him. still cannot believe he's gone. i hope he's feeling good up in the heaven..... i love u

Jan 17, 2020Tragic genius; an epilogue of a life lived in excess but not without cares or stresses. 11/10
-
Jan 17, 2020A very emotional conclusion, not only to Swimming as a concept but to Mac as an artist. The album shows a large growth in his singing ability and explores his voice and abilities vocally. The instrumentals are groovy at points, and calm at others, reinforcing the tone of the album, melancholy with an optimistic outlook.
-
Jan 17, 2020it’s amazing, i’m so grateful to get to hear this masterpiece. everybody should listen to it
-
Jan 18, 2020This album made me cry a lot, masterpiece. Didn't dislike a single track. R.I.P. Mac

-
Jan 18, 2020Even after death he gives us good music.this album has beautiful instrumentals that isolate mac and put him like he is talking to you from a place where he found peace
-
Jan 18, 2020Such an amazing album, swimming was ok but Circles is on another level, this is some of Mac's greatest music ever released.
-
Jan 18, 2020Circles is the most beautiful album by Mac Miller. It's a piece of art. The production is so beautiful and mac should be proud in the heaven.
-
Jan 18, 2020Compelling, captivating and thought-provoking. This album is an inside look into the mind of Mac Miller over a body of work that culminates everything that Mac Miller is in hip-hop. This is a posthumous album done the right way, and a project that Mac Miller himself would be happy to put out. A phenomenal farewell from Malcolm McCormick.

Jan 19, 2020This album created energy I haven't had from music for a while. The rhythm and the lyrics had me vibing out, some songs brought me to a sadness hearing the sadness in his tone. The different and wide variety of music that Mac brought us was something special. From rapping to that soothing singing voice he has. What an artist. Rest in Peace. Your music will forever live on.
-
Jan 19, 2020Beautiful. Thank you so much for finishing this project, Jon Brion, and doing so through Mac’s perspective. Thank you, Malcolm.

Feb 18, 2020beautiful. and a truly incredible thing that the album was able to be produced. lyrically and musically beautiful. RIP Mac, you will forever be appreciated, loved and missed.
-
Mar 9, 2020Bro, this whole album just feels like a warm hug, a goodbye to everyone. he is just talking from his heart. wherever he is i hope he is smiling, rest in peace mac
-
Mar 25, 2020Beautifully done. We can relate to his feelings through soothing and calm music. Mac's death had a great impact on me, so it took long for me to listen to his late album. But it was even better than I expected. It's a work of art. Definitely his best, better even than the Divine Feminine which is my favorite album of all times.
-
Mar 27, 2020The whole album feels like being written from the other side. It's much more musical than the rest and it's profoundness lets us wondering how much better a next album would have been.
-
May 6, 2020A true masterpiece of art. Circles may very well be the only good post-death album to be released ever. Circles exceeds at being the best sister album to swimming, completing the dream that Mac had envisioned. Circles far outhsines anything made within its same release year.
-
Aug 28, 2020Ja perdi as contas de quantas vezes corri para esse álbum. Mac era um artista incrível e faz muita falta.

Jun 14, 2021Great Album. I love how it didn't really rip off the style of Swimming, but had a different one instead :) Very unique experience
-
Aug 18, 2021Beautiful, true art. A perfect track listing, the sounds mix incredibly good so it isn't "only a sad record", the instruments sound great and are very well chosen, and of course Mac Millers voice sounds incredibly good, it has a real modern jazzy vibe, with very overthinking lyrics.
-
May 16, 2022This album is absolutely gut-wrenching, it gets you every time. Mac was a genius, Rest In Peace.

May 18, 2023this is pure art, this album made me cry, and think about a lot of things..
-
Jan 12, 2021Mac Miller at his most musical yet. No genre in particular, possibly his furthest he's ever been from rap. Beautiful, haunting and a Polaroid of musical genius left for us.
-
Feb 21, 2020Though I'm not a fan of the post-mortem releases, this is a true piece of art. It seems that whoever have been responsible for finishing the songs for the album have done an impeccable job. Beautiful, touching, catchy.

Jan 18, 2020A beautiful album. It is very emotional considering Mac's life and head space at the time of recording, but doesn't need to rely on it. It's just really damn good. There isn't a single track on it I don't like, and although it continues the departure from Mac's earlier work, it is a very fitting progression. Beautiful.
-
Jan 18, 2020Easily his best effort, and even better that it was released on my birthday. I love this guy. R.I.P.
-
Jan 22, 2020Mac Miller delivers a beautiful album and perfect send off to any Mac Miller fan.
Best Tracks: Complicated, Blue World, Hand Me Downs, Hands
Worst Track: I Can See -
Jan 22, 2020Absolutely amazing. Production was spectacular, as well as his vocals. A wonderful send off to the late Mac Miller.

Jan 23, 2020This album is great! I loge the production and lyricism and the Singer-Songwriter approach he took on the project. The project has elements of Neo Soul and R&B while still having Mac rap. Definitely Mac’s best album
-
Apr 29, 2020Circles is a phenomenal send off to one of hip hops most recently tragic stories. The album feels totally complete despite being posthumous, and every instrumental perfectly fits Mac’s moods through each track. The tracks nail the swimming in circles theme and does give some hope in tracks like Blue World.
-
Jan 22, 2020Sad to see the late mac Miller lave this earth. This album was great and I’m glad it will be his last
-
Jan 22, 2020You will be missed Mac! Amazing last album. I cried a lot while listening to it.

Jan 23, 2020Beautiful sounding and it feels like we’re getting closure for mac. This is how posthumous albums need to be done
-
Feb 29, 2020This is the best posthumous release we've had in a very long while. It is a very sad and heart breaking project to listen to as he sounds so hopeful for his future on a lot of the tracks. Having said that he also covered a lot of issues he was struggling with on this release which makes this album even more of an emotional experience. This is a very heavy yet smooth listen overall. 9/10.

Jan 29, 2020This is how you do Posthumous music...I felt like he recorded this up in the heaven. Thankyou Mac
-
Apr 2, 2020The best ending we could have reasonably asked for. Mac builds off his unique sound on 'Swimming' and really gives his best vocals of his career. Packed with heartfelt songs and some spots to let you know that Mac could still rap. Beautiful album that I think will be looked at as Mac's masterpiece one day.
-
May 28, 2020The only Mac album that can really go against swimming, this album deserves to be the best of the year! Mac Miller always innovating and improving every year, I miss you
-
Feb 3, 2021Just beautiful. The writing is mature, the instrumentals are great. Mac's singing isn't perfect, but is has a lot of charm. Highly recommended.

Dec 2, 2020Incredibly beautiful album. The production work is perfect. It is so sad that Mac's best work was his last.
-
Dec 18, 2020I have always been a Mac fan, but 'Swimming' really made me love and appreciate his music more. It so unfortunate that he passed away shortly after Swimming, because it is so far his best piece of art. So i was really nervous about this posthumous album, but John Brion and everybody involved really did an amazing job. This albums is so good and a perfect follow up after Swimming. Forever Mac.

Feb 3, 2020Despite the sadness that clearly surrounds this project there is plenty of positivity: the production of the album is impeccable, and the overwhelming message that shines through is of hope for the future.
-
Jan 30, 2020Mac’s sixth studio album is a surreal experience that’s filled with opaque contemplation and tragic connotations. ... Loneliness may be our greatest fear other than death. Mac was able to explicitly re-establish this idea through reflective songwriting and gentle crooning. His genius and thoughtfulness will always be remembered. “Circles” is a stark reminder of that.
-
Jan 21, 2020He finds beauty and peace in allowing himself to experience his own emotions. It’s an honest, matter-of-fact account of the grey areas of his life and mind. On Circles, Mac shows the unexpected joy that can be found in the darkest of times.
