May 18, 2019Easily tyler's worst album, pointless features, pointless high pitched vocals, it literally ruined so many songs from being great here, but the beats are probably the best in his entire career, so he improved on that at least.

May 17, 2019I'm honestly pretty new to Tyler and his music, after listening to Flower Boy recently and thoroughly enjoying it, I felt like this album felt too messy and cluttered, where the music was not necessarily bad, however it just felt like so much could've been done so much better.

May 17, 2019Interesting production muddied by obnoxious euphemisms. There are genuine highlights, but lyrics like "I'm your puppet, U control me" and "U make my earthquake" lack subtletly, convey no real emotion, and are corny as hell. The first, stronger half of the record is captivating enough, but there is no compelling narrative to hold onto here. Overall, a weak and superfluous follow up to Flower Boy.

May 20, 2019As a full experience it's pretty good , but after the first listen there's no reason to come back to any of the tracks , except two that I thought where catchy , the whole experience overall starts to feel like a chore by the midpoint of the album .
Disappointing. -
Jun 23, 2019Very experimental but as an old Tyler fan I don’t like the new sound. It has some great moment but that’s it for me

The WireJul 11, 2019Things improve markedly when he plays to his strengths with the nuanced narrative of “A Boy Is A Gun”, but ultimately such moments [are] hard to hear over the pitiable “Puppet” and “Earfquake”, functional pop wisely rejected by Justin Bieber and Rihanna. When the narrative sags and his mind seems to wander, it just isn’t enough, no matter how stylish the trimmings. [Aug 2019, p.68]

Jun 27, 2019For the most part, Tyler has opted out of his rapping heritage, preferring pitch-altered singing vocals which will split some opinion. However, this elevated IGOR beyond the mere confines of genre, to a substantially great work of art, cementing Tyler's case as one of this decade's most essential artists.

Jun 21, 2019It’s an intriguing album with few dips (only Kanye’s verse on Puppet sounds rather phoned in and lacklustre), and it adds up to Tyler, The Creator’s best work to date. He may not be threatening Western civilization anymore, but he is creating something far more interesting.
