    Awful album. This real Unruly Mess They've Made. One of the worst albums of 2016, Charlie Puth's Nine Track Mind is ahead.............................

    Is 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.

    I 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.

    Gotta 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

    Though 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.

    “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.

    Despite some lyrical flaws here and there, it still shines.
