    One of his most cohesive. It's one in the few that point towards a consistent evolution forward even when this album is the least fascinating of the two. It carries over the experimental spirit of Hollywood Bleeding more gentle and earnest parts such as the near folktronica of "Circles " but with some of the more typical flexing tracks of beer bongs snd Bentley.

This album isn't stunning ir life changing but it's worth your time and has enough good moments that if you decide to it won't be a joyless ride. My favorites are the heart on your sleeve regret and rage beneath "love hate letter to alcohol " orthe doja feature that melds what they both do best so well. It leaves me excited about what's to come.… Expand

    For sure is a decrease from Hollywood's Bleeding, which was already expected since with that album Post achieved the maximum level of creativity and versatility and he hardly will top that. At least I wish he could maintain the same level of his predecessor, but it's not what happens here. The decrease was big. The songs seems generic, his voice is softer, the lyrics most of the time areFor sure is a decrease from Hollywood's Bleeding, which was already expected since with that album Post achieved the maximum level of creativity and versatility and he hardly will top that. At least I wish he could maintain the same level of his predecessor, but it's not what happens here. The decrease was big. The songs seems generic, his voice is softer, the lyrics most of the time are repetitive, the production is weak as well, just like the melodies. Sad to see how he's going down so fast. Usually the artists keep more time at the top of charts, quality of production etc. That's not what I see with Post Malone. This album is totally forgettable.… Expand

    While the rap-preferring fans will still gravitate to his first two efforts, listeners with an appreciative ear for his genre-sampling maturation into the mainstream will find Twelve Carat Toothache to be a fascinating emotional exploration of a conflicted artist who can't help but churn out star-making hits at the expense of his own happiness.

    “Twelve Carat Toothache” doesn’t reveal a new facet of Austin Post, it just shines an even brighter light on the jewels that he drops.

    It is arguably his most sonically interesting and personal project so far, but its inconsistency punches a few pot-holes in the listening journey. The experimentation here doesn’t always work, but when it does, it shows that Post is heading in some exciting directions for future albums.
