    I liked this album and it had some really good and smooth songs. It's good and enjoyable sound. It's a chill tone and will be brought into my normal listen cycle. Some of these songs sound kind of messy and other songs are underwhelming. I just wanted the album to be better. But overall it has some classic 10/10 tracks (We & Dang!). Overall enjoyable.

    The fourth full-length release for the Pittsburgh rapper feature gusset appearances from Bilal, CeeLo Green, Ariana Grande, Kendrick Lamar, Njomza, Anderson .Paak, and Ty Dolla $ign.

    All in all, The Divine Feminine is an experiment well done. Mac Miller’s creative mind explores the ins and outs of the modern relationship while maintaining a certain level of sophistication that can be considered timeless.

    Keep it going Mac! Evolve don't degress. You're not in highschool anymore! Sophistication in lyrics goes along with the evolution of music and the audience that follows it. Either you slow down society or you help inspire it!

    If you are expecting the Mac Miller from 2010-2013, then this album is not for you. This is a rejuvenated Mac Miller who is trying to change his lyrics and style of music. Unfortunately, I like the old Mac and found this album to be very boring. I miss the Mac where he would talk about ice cream and yogurt.

    Goodness Gracious, it's very safe to say that as an artist, Mac Miller evolved a lot since 2010. He dropped a bunch of cool projects with a rising level of evolution on each one of them, not only as a rapper ("Macadelic", "Watching Movies With The Sound Off", "Faces" and "GO:OD AM" are my favorites), but when he puts his creativity on the table, it's speaks way louder than simply words.

    after a number of listens, the divine feminine is a well constructed project which talks to the heart of the listener. although mac is new to releasing such content, his first attempt is sure a success and progresses rap beyond a underground/pop/trap duality into a niche alternative scene.

    The Divine Feminine is obviously a bit sappy in nature and a bit one dimensional - but it's just addictively catchy and intoxicating at points. A prime example of Mac's ear for beats, tracks like Stay and Cinderella hold massive replay value. It is also loaded with terrific features (Ty, .Paak, Bilal, etc), doesn't have any real warts on the tracklist, well paced and an endearing look intoThe Divine Feminine is obviously a bit sappy in nature and a bit one dimensional - but it's just addictively catchy and intoxicating at points.

    The flow that the Mac is following in this album is very appreciable, a sonority of this album has an incredible form to create. Just in love with it! Mac is a great artist. Peace to him.

    Mac's first major step away from rap-heavy content is a total hit. The album is clearly love-inspired and carries that tune beautifully throughout. The awkward but cute flirty tone Mac presents is cool without being disgustingly corny and makes for some heartfelt and interesting lyrics. Dang!, Cinderella, and Stay are some of Mac's highest peaks. If it weren't for a couple forgettable andMac's first major step away from rap-heavy content is a total hit.

    el mejor álbum de Mac Miller. De principio a fin demuestra una madurez musical, donde un chico blanco muestra lo qie puede hacer en r&b y funk.

    The Divine Feminine is well-intentioned and well-staffed, but ultimately lacks the sort of specificity in vision that would do its subject matter justice. [Nov 2016, p.61]

    Mac Miller isn’t a good rapper, and he definitely can’t carry a note, though he tries to do that a lot on this one. However, he has a vision of what he wanted this album to sound like and then carried it through with all the right producers and features, which is a talent in and of itself.
