    This album, in my opinion, does nothing. No good lyrics, no good beats. Come to expect this of him. Will not play this again.

    Anyone that says this album is 'revolutionary' or even good are lying and are sad that they had to wait 3 years for it. I am sorry but it's not risky this album, it's just bad and boring and a total drag to listen to.

    I'm a huge fan of Earl, but this sounds like a low quality mixtape with just random verses thrown on random sounds and beats. Kind of disappointed that I had to wait 3 years for this.

    Unfortunately does nothing for me. A competent rap devoid of any genuine courage to push boundaries in his subject matter. Awful

    There Is Nothing I Can Say Great About This Album. Production Is Loud, Distracting, And Irritating, Which Pretty Much Drowns Out The Lyrics. I Feel Like If The Production Was Turned Down A Notch, I Would've Been Able To Hear The Lyrics And Possibly Enjoy The Album. It's Like Listening Too Mumble Rap, But Instead Of Mumbling, We Get Overly Dramatic Samples Of Quiet Rapping. I Am Disappointed.

    It’s hard to get with the tiresome self-deprecation of that album title, the way he hides his pain behind a smile and hides his smile behind a dope aesthetic on that artfully blurred cover. When Earl does choose to project beyond his navel he has a powerful, booming voice and an ear for novelty. Where his gaze shifts to the outside world he can be inspirational. [Feb 2019, p.56]

    By combining the searing intimacy of a boombox-constructed mixtape with progressive and delirious bars, Earl's third album offers a rare kind of insight, sagacious from a 24-year-old. [Mar 2019, p.80]

    For all its signs of progression, the record is never heavy-handed with its ambition. Its unforced attempt at making sense of the fraught present, at finding shelter without resorting to convenient escape, is a rare and, dare I say, sincere feat.
