Dec 1, 2018Took me few listens to really enjoy this album, but if you give it a chance you will probably enjoy it. Earl tried something new with this album and I think that it's captivating. The beats are the way they are so you focus more on the lyricism over the beats. If you focus on the lyrics you will eventually be all over the album. It's been on repeat since it dropped for me.

Dec 7, 2018A experience that challenges the listener. Very influenced by underground hip-hop and by the recent events in earl's life, creating great sounds and lyrics.
-
Dec 5, 2018This album was an immaculate masterpiece from start to finish. It is some of Earl Sweatshirt's best work since Doris. this is definitely album of the year. there is not a single track on this project that i did not have problems with or liked at all.
-
Dec 5, 2018An incredibly groundbreaking, deeply disturbing, and brief look into the life and feelings of Earl Sweatshirt. I have nothing but great things to say about this masterpiece!
-
Dec 5, 2018This album is beautiful and depressing. I am very addicted to it at the moment.
I love all the unique instrumentals and lyrics. My favourite songs from this album right now are probably Nowhere2go, Eclipse and Ontheway! -
Dec 8, 2018This album is a modern masterpiece. It is a slightly different sound to Earl’s older music, but it is
definitely a new, accepted style from Earl. -
Dec 3, 2018A collection of songs where Earl somehow manages to only speak when necessary, leaving the listener amazed about how so little could mean so much. Earl produces 9 of the 15 tracks on this possible AOTY candidate and leaves a listener in a daze from how great his rhymes, production and lyricism are. Definitely proving himself to be the best rapper of his generation.

Dec 13, 2018This rating system sucks. Why won't it let me give this spectacular album an 11?
-
Dec 8, 2018Thank you fath for making some gud rap songs. fav tracks= shattered dreams, nowhere2go, ontheway, the mint, azucar, peanut, riot

Dec 4, 2018Earl talking about depression and the production match the feeling, we can see how the last 3 years has been difficult. The only reason, i give this album a seven instead of a 9 is the mixing of the album. Sometimes the beat takes over his voice and for me it is important to hear Earl because of his lyrics. For the production, we really see a Knxwledge, Madlib influences.

Dec 9, 2018I could see how you don't like this album, but it is a beautiful 25 minutes and something I wasn't expecting from Earl.

Dec 3, 2018Can't get over the feeling like this is an extension of J Dilla's Donuts....I play the whole thing through on repeat like Donuts too and find something new to love about it each time.

Dec 4, 2018Lyrics are the best Earl's ever had and though it would sound better cleanly produced, the shaky production fits with the sinking and confused feeling of the album. Themes of family and death make the album emotionally stronger.
-
Dec 1, 2018This album is a masterpiece. Everything from the beautiful production to the overall MADVILLAINY inspired sound really blew me away. Earl has managed to put together an experimental album that packs and punch and gives listeners an insight into Earl's psyche.

Dec 1, 2018masterpice, possibly album of the year. Earl has proved himself to be one this generation's best.

Mar 8, 2020this clown has never made a good song in his life let alone a good album wtf do people like about this mumble dick head
-
Dec 12, 2018This album, in my opinion, does nothing. No good lyrics, no good beats. Come to expect this of him. Will not play this again.
-
Dec 5, 2018Anyone 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.
-
Dec 1, 2018I'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.
-
Dec 5, 2018Unfortunately does nothing for me. A competent rap devoid of any genuine courage to push boundaries in his subject matter. Awful

Dec 6, 2018Always enjoyed Earl's stuff. I always dig the vibe to it and when he released a single, I was hyped. After I was done listening to it, I enjoyed a lot more than I thought.

Aug 17, 2019First exposure to Earl, lacks focus but is a nice listen.
Best Tracks:Red Water,Nowhere2Go,The Bends,Acuzar
Worst Tracks:Cold Summers,The Mint, Loosie -
Apr 4, 2020There 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.

The WireJan 25, 2019It’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]
-
MojoJan 23, 2019By 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]

Dec 20, 2018For 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.
