Sep 8, 2016While the album may have been crafted during a two-year tsunami of struggle, Isaiah Rashad still manages to sound as calm as an ocean’s gentle waves; sounding so effortless has never taken so much effort.
-
Sep 8, 2016It’s not as ambitious as it could have been, but it works due to its sheer expressiveness, one man going through the motions and chronicling every movement, a tirade in the purest sense.
-
Sep 8, 2016It’s a complex portrait of a man in transition. The album is an evolution for an artist who still may have his best in store.
-
Dec 12, 2016It's up to the label's high standard, a riveting composite of grief and filth like no other.
-
The WireNov 8, 2016The Sun's Tirade is a master class in restraint and pacing. [Nov 2016, p.64]
-
Sep 13, 2016Tirade is a refined exercise in Spottie’s advancement as an artist.
-
Sep 13, 2016Cilvia Demo was a taste of who he is, and now this album paints a complete picture of himself and where he is in his life right now. He lets his rhymes and observations do the talking, and the end result is one of the most refreshing rap records of the year.
-
Sep 8, 2016Both Doris and The Sun’s Tirade are filled with sleepy beats, are overly long, and while Earl Sweatshirt sounded mechanical and detached through most of that album, Isaiah Rashad has yet to really develop his persona/presence.
-
Sep 20, 2016The Sun's Tirade is a good hip-hop album, especially for a chill summer's day.
-
Sep 8, 2016The Sun's Tirade is pleasant, but it's not timeless.
-
Sep 9, 2016While the production on this album brings a multifaceted sonic support system into the picture, its own repetitive nature, along with that of Rashad’s lyricism, lead to exhaustive monotony.
