Feb 10, 2018Honest, and, while the songs and beats themselves are as good as the Heist (with the exception of Growing Up feat. Ed Sheeran, probably my favorite Macklemore song), the honest (and sometimes amusing, like in Let's Eat) lyrics make up for that.

Feb 27, 2016This is a fantastic album, and I cannot stop listening to Light Tunnels, Dance Off, and Need to Know. Kevin ft. Leon Bridges is an incredibly deep song about addiction and a lot of people will definitely be able relate to it.

Feb 27, 2016This really is an amazing album. Especially 'Light Tunnels' and 'Let's eat' are very good and funny aswell. The whole album has a catchy sound and contains a lot of humor. But there are also some emotional songs like 'Kevin' and 'White Privilige' . A 9 out of 10 for me

Feb 26, 2016Is time to stop macklemore. People who say he is different are ignorant. His "white privilege" is nine minutes of torture and him trying to be black. His song Downtown obviously was similar to uptown funk by mark ronson. He was a one or two-hit wonder and should have stayed that way.
-
Feb 27, 2016Not sure how these idiotic critics didn't like this album. Maybe they haven't listened to enough rap? Because this is one the greatest albums this year. You can tell they spent time to produce a album that tells so much about themselves. Every song can be listened to on repeat for hours.
-
Feb 26, 2016I definitely can appreciate conscious hip hop with great beats (with no drama/PR stunts and NO autotune). The guests on the album compliment macklemore and ryan lewis quite well.

May 6, 2016"you're elvis, you're miley, you're iggy azalea" really? how dare you to be so HYPOCRATE? talking about equality and now, dissing a dead man and two girls? FOR REAL? MISOGYNY AS HELL.

Aug 24, 2016I cannot stand Macklemore. His first album was fine just because some of its singles were catchy and charming. That is completely missing here and all we get are some bland and forgettable "rap" tracks.

Mar 15, 2016Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' 2nd album, This Unruly Mess I've Made, a follow up to their 2012 album The Heist, is a valiant attempt at consciousness and humor, but unfortunately, it's also an extremely corny one.
-
Feb 29, 2016When I first listened to "The Heist" it instantly became one of my favorite albums and I could never imagine that this killer duo would make a better record to be honest. I just have to say "This Unruly Mess I've Made" proved me so so so wrong!
-
Mar 28, 2016Gotta be honest this album was a disappointment. Love the meanings in this songs it's the execution that lacks. He's just talking over the beat. Besides Downtown the only song I enjoyed was Dance Off

Mar 3, 2016A surprinsingly diverse album that shows the duo's search for finding new sounds and themes. A truly worthy album of your time and attentions. Tracks like Light Tunnels, Downtown, Dance Off and of course White Privilege II are must hears.

Mar 24, 2016Though This Unruly Mess I’ve Made is decent, its biggest failing lies in its quality control. For every good song, there are two mediocre and/or forgettable ones next to them.
-
Mar 18, 2016“Kevin” and “White Privilege II”, obvious attempts to spark political discourse, see an artist not afraid to speak his mind. It makes meme-chasing moments like “Brad Pitt’s Cousin” and “Dance-Off” all the more forgettable.
-
Mar 15, 2016Despite some lyrical flaws here and there, it still shines.
