    Why Flower Boy struggles to follow where Cherry Bomb left off is the same reason why people like it so much: it's blooming. Throughout the record, Tyler rides a rollercoaster of emotions, but not the best way while far from being the worst ride ever.

Regardless of a few tracks being amongst Tyler's best and the album's necessity for Tyler's growth in the long-term, we could only be thankful that the boy bloomed into IGOR and Tyler Baudelaire and not just stayed inside that weird-undecided cocoon.… Expand

    One of his most mediocre and least sincere albums, but still decent and listenable. It mainly appeals to hipster losers from the ages of 17 to 25 who didn't listen to anything else of his.

    Besides for Cherry Bomb, one of his worst projects to date. Mostly insincere and boring despite its colorful appearance.

    This is a quiet, mellow album that works better as chill out music than work out music. ... Well worth checking out, especially if you thought Tyler was a one-trick pony.

    At some point in the future Tyler, The Creator may define his ideology and grow tedious with it; for now he remains on top form revelling in ambiguity. [Sep 2017, p.62]

    These days, there aren’t many rap albums that can service as a deeply digested work of art as well as music for easy listening, yet Tyler, The Creator fills both lanes well. He manages to find the happy medium on Flower Boy and translates it to his best album yet.
