    Everything blends together, it's not very cohesive. Malone sounds just like what he is- an annoying white guy who takes the bare essentials of trap and makes a cheap, commercially safe, lazy version of it. Better now is a pretty good song, I'll admit. But there's nothing that separates most songs from each other, and it leads to a very unsatisfactory experience.

    A very poor album with weak lyrics and vocal performances. The only saving grace is the production, but even that starts to get boring and repetitive after 18 songs.

    It is a heinous crime that anyone would rate this frat-pop trash more than a 1.

    Post Malone really stepped up his game when it came to Beerbongs and Bentleys. His work just keeps getting better and better. This is honestly an album full of hits that I listened to on repeat for hours on end when it first came out. Definitely worth a listen!

    Seeing as how much I detest trap-rap, someone please tell me why I kind of like this album? Seriously, this was an overall enjoyable listen!

"Rockstar" is also an excellent trap song, and tracks like that and "Zack and Codeine" prove that Post doesn't need to necessarily emote toSeeing as how much I detest trap-rap, someone please tell me why I kind of like this album?

Despite the tracks "Spoil My Night," "92 Explorer," and "Candy Paint" being very insufferable, I might come back to this album eventually. Definitely is worth checking out.

    Great album although some songs are sounding the same. The lyrics are mediocre but his voice is very relaxing and balances the score. The album includes calm songs like "Psycho" and more aggressive songs like "Over Now". In all this creates a decent mix and makes the album worth hearing.

    I enjoy almost all of the tracks on BB&B, and is definitely a step up from Stoney. The production value is 10 times better, and the album as a whole feels more complete. I gave it an 8/10 because towards the end, it all gets a bit lost for me. I feel like the album should have been made shorter, as over an hour of Post is too much for me sometimes.

    While the album does have fairly good songs most of it simply blends together with the same ideas and same sounds. You've heard post previously and this is more of the same from him. Certainly not terrible and also not great.

    A boring, overlong mess with production that sounds exactly the same through that and bored sounding, poorly written lyrics. One point for posts ability to write an amazingly catchy hook that just gets stuck in your head. If only that ability was put to better use.

    NOPE. It's pretty obvious that despite a bunch of tracks, not much effort was put into this album. The best tracks are the ones with scene-stealing features, which somewhat make up for this album's horrible makeup. Favourite Tracks: rockstar, Psycho, Ball For Me, Candy Paint

    This album is just fun, if you were looking for something more "deep", this is not the right album. It sounds pretty good, it's not the big deal, it's easy to hear it. I think that Post Malone can go by another music line as in "Stay", the ballads are very good with a acoustic guitar and his voice with autotune.

    Can anyone explain to me why Post Malone is famous? It can't be because of good music, because this "album" is an aural crime. It can't be because of music talent, because you have to create something compelling, which Post Malone cannot do. It can't be because of looks. Just look at Post Malone, enough said. Something is...off

    While Beerbongs and Bentleys contains a number of party tracks and songs for teens and young kids, it has the feel of a playlist rather than an actual body of work.

While you’ll hear some of these songs on radios or at parties, this album is simply a mess and one made for the youth. Beerbongs and Bentleys is a tough listen and might just top Eminem’s 2017 album, Revival, as one of the most disappointing rap releases in recent memory and might just be one of the worst hip hop albums of all time… Expand

    Alternative hip-hopper Post Malone sparks the world with one of the most anticipated albums of this year. Most tracks include a very vivid and audible slur that will drag you in with the groove and beats of each rhythm. Post Malone's fame is only getting started and he's going to keep reaching new heights in the rate he's going through all the viewers out there.

There are some creative lyrics as well, and the beats to this album are pretty well produced. The biggest problem is that some songs can feel extremely bland right next to each other, as sometimes the same subject matter is repeated in multiple songs. For example, he talks about cars for the last three tracks of the album, and them three together isn't special.

    Beerbongs & Bentleys is an album that I bought on CD for my car when my AUX cord broke, and I haven't stopped listening. This album has so many great songs on it, from Paranoid to Ball for Me, and the commercial success of Rockstar. These songs and all the others make for an album that is worth a full listen from track 1 to 18, over and over again. One of the best albums of 2018 and deservedly so.

    It has its tiresome sound, and songs that can simply be cut in the middle to have their sound good. However, I found that many of the songs were quite melodic and fun to listen to, as opposed to a lot of 'trap' at the time. The negative point becomes aggressive in its productions and compositions not being pleasant to hear.

    The hate that his album gets is genuinely astounding. It features some of the greatest trap songs of the 2010s and is packed with party bangers. If you're looking for a cohesive and deep album you won't find it here. But at least appreciate it for what it is.

    Beerbongs & Bentleys is an apt reflection of his lavish lifestyle and his subsequently begotten hardships, but its attempts at sincerity work only when Post Malone stops trying so hard.

    There are occasional intrusions of other ideas, like the agonized rock on “Over Now,” and when far more formalist artists like Nicki Minaj or G-Eazy arrive, they sound like teachers trying to enforce order in detention. But in total, Beerbongs & Bentleys is admirably committed to form, one long song of the decontextualized now.

    This moment of fuzzed-out, fucked-up pop music with questionably scant odes to rap music is not designed for posterity. To his credit, Post gets that, and is content to make overlong albums where every song can be a single. Not every song on beerbongs and bentleys can be a single, but there’s enough of them hiding in there to make it one of 2018’s more rewarding releases.
