Sep 17, 2021Not only an important moment in music and an important moment in queer culture, but a flawless, sonically-diverse debut album - it soars in its upbeat moments and its softer moments. Triumphant, charismatic, honest, innovative, brave, and introspective.
-
Sep 17, 2021Not a really big fan of rappers, but this man has everything to succeed. He mixes style, profound lyrics and sticky sounds. I absolutely adore Montero and the transition from the first six tracks, to the rest of the album is magnificent. Mature and beautiful, this first baby is incredible.

Sep 17, 2021These beats are crazy yo. Lil Nas X has a great singing voice. All of the collabs fit his rhythm. The lyrics were very deep at times, others they were simply sexual. It had a great theme of coming out and embracing sexuality.
I love gay people! -
Sep 19, 2021I feared the music wouldn’t live up to the amazing promo and album roll out but I stand corrected as Nas has established himself as a bonafide musician and an undisputed star.
-
Sep 18, 2021groundbreaking, iconic, album of the year, this album is a true must-listen.
-
Sep 17, 2021That's an instant classic, definitely an epic that will go down in history as one of the best albums ever made. AMAZING.

Sep 17, 2021With this album Nas really proves he deserves a place among the greats!!!!!! Aoty for sure.
-
Sep 18, 2021Best Pop Album of the year for sure, thoroughly enjoyed the album, absolutely loved it
-
Sep 18, 2021"MONTERO" truly lived up to my expectations, and I might even say that the album even surpassed them. As a debut album, this is truly impressive!
Favourite tracks: "Montero (Call Me By Your Name"), "Dead Right Now", "Industry Baby", "That's What I Want", "Sun Goes Down", "Void", "Don't Want It", "Life After Salem" and "Am I Dreaming". -
Sep 17, 2021This is literally the best album of 2021 and I'm so proud of him. MONTERO for me represents freedom, the effervescence of being yourself, the sincerity and at the same time the mocking responses to the terrible criticisms of being lil nas x. He's a pure genius and this album has no skips!! I hope to meet him someday cuz i love this man!!
-
Sep 22, 2021Incredible! I'm not going to lie when I feared this album would follow the rushed steps of his EP, but I couldn't be more wrong. This is fresh, solid and truly amazing. We should never forget what Lil Nas X did for the music industry and for the LGBTQ+ community. He is an icon, he is a legend and he is the moment.
-
Sep 17, 2021Yeah, LNX comes out swinging here. 15 tracks, 41 minutes long, and pretty much perfect, in my opinion. Mixing and production is great, lyrics are top notch, vocals and features are great and interesting and unique and the sound is completely cohesive. Favourite tracks are Industry Baby, MONTERO, Scoop, and Tales of Dominica.
Fantastic album. Truly amazing. -
Sep 17, 2021Album of the year! Lil Nas X once again surprising everyone, we need to recognize him

Sep 18, 2021Definitely one of the best albums this year or the best album this year. He showed that he just doesn't do stuff for the charts or TikTok. He also got deeper than most rappers out right now. He showcased his vocals as well as rapping skills. You can say he proved haters wrong!

-
Sep 17, 2021Sin duda magnífico El álbum es tan icónico que hace querer escucharlo todo el día las colaboraciones sin duda son magníficas
-
Sep 17, 2021On song 11 and I've made the decision. Lil Nas X has been cooking this up for too long and it came out like a good ass steak on a Saturday, or like the adrenaline after going down the steep part of a roller coaster.
-
Sep 17, 2021this could be legit the best album of the year so far, and we're talking about his debut album. this is flawless, lil nas x is already remarkable and iconic.
-
Sep 17, 2021A proposta do lil foi muito interessante, a transição entre músicas, os feats bem encaixados, as faixas equilibradas, muitos contrastes bacanas no álbum desde as batidas até as letras. Sinceramente muito bom, não há música ruim. Me Arrisco a dizer que é um candidato de peso ao aoty, respeitando todos os outros, é claro.
-
Sep 20, 2021The album is a cultural reset and one of the best debut albums that I have heard from a pop-rap star in a long time. Lil Nas X is having a blast and so are his listeners! Thank you Montero for being your true and authentic self within the music. I am inspired by Nas' ability to put his soul into his music for the world to hear! Montero is a beautiful masterpiece of work, man! Congrats, LNX!

-
Sep 17, 2021Absolute bops. Amazing marketing that pissed off conservatives (very good form of entertainment) and really helped LGBTQ people, including myself, accept themselves and feel proud of who they are. Amazing features too btw, shame Elton didn’t sing but he absolutely slayed the piano tho.

Sep 23, 2021Beautiful. It is as if I’ve felt every emotion on the spectrum. Every song was different, and yet it was all very cohesive...

I am so happy that he finally seems to have found his sound and himself; Lil Nas X has officially established himself as a serious artist in my books.

Dec 21, 2021Álbum maravilhoso, foge de todas as tendências atuais mas mesmo assim tendo influência delas, o som dos trompetes nas músicas são perfeitos, parece que se eles não tivessem nas músicas algo faltaria. O Lil nas x foi genial nas mensagens e no instrumental desse álbum, e o melhor é que tudo é transmitido de um jeito completamente autêntico
-
Jan 31, 2022Probably the best release of 2021 - not only in pop & rap - but over all genres. Lil Nas X proves himself as a force in the industry, blending catchy beats with deep, impactful lyrics. Tracks such as Tales of Dominica and Life After Salem show his range, both vocally and stylistically. All in all, Montero is an amazing body of work and great debut.
