    A project that stands on its own, a work of engaging individuality, ‘Jackman.’ is his best, most in-depth album yet. Literate, experimental, and emphatically rebellious, it’s the sound of Jack Harlow operating on his own glorious terms.

    The maturity and depth on display on Jackman may not be enough to silence haters or mollify critics but, like Mac Miller’s Watching Movies with the Sound Off, it’s a step up in lyricism that shows that Harlow has much, much more to offer.

    Jackman. takes creative risks in social commentary that often pay off.

    So much about Jackman. feels incomplete or partially thought out, however, that the album relegates itself to mere background music with occasional flashes that suggest serious emotion or profound contemplation without ever fully delivering.

    Jackman. sounds disjointed and dull.

    For the most part, Harlow operates in two contradictory modes: pedaling universal surface-level platitudes about relatable matters such as “the grind” or going for easy humble brags about receiving Sunday Service FaceTime calls from Justin Bieber.

    This is a major improvement over his last album, production is fresh, lyrics and topics are mature, bars are decent and not cringe, some songsThis is a major improvement over his last album, production is fresh, lyrics and topics are mature, bars are decent and not cringe, some songs like "is that ight?" and "it can't be" do bring down the score of the album, but they aren't terrible songs, just mediocre.

    My only real complaint with jack is and always has been that he is unable to get on different pockets and flows despite having very different vibes on different tracks. Luckily for jack, the album is short and sweet enough for it to not get too bothersome, but I hope he addresses this issue on later projects, I see a lot of potential here.    … Expand
