    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.

    This one is one of the most forgettable albums i've heard this year. The only thing going for it is a very good production, beat selection is very enjoyable, but his auto-tune singing is not enjoyable for me, at some parts it fits quite well with the beat, but most of the times it is really annoying to listen to.

    Whilst i disliked stoney a good amount, i was pleasantly surprised by this in that there weren't any songs i truly hated and the there were a good amount i quite liked, lyrically Post still isn't Shakespeare, but still tolerable with the producing quite decent.

    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. Post’s obsession with rapping about drugs, money and his rapper lifestyle is on display and the amount of corny moments as well as moments that make a smart listener cringe is extremely high.

Post’s obsession with rapping about drugs, money and his rapper lifestyle is on display and the amount of corny moments as well as moments that make a smart listener cringe is extremely high. 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

    It's got a few bangers to drag up the score to "average", but this is mostly a slog. It's overlong with the vast majority of the tracks being rather forgettable pop rap/trap attempted bangers that didn't land. There's no cohesion, it drifts aimlessly and ends in disarray. It's really a mess of a project.

    Although some songs becomes bland and generic, the album is overall very chill to listen to and got several bangers on it. It’s a good album to just chill out to.

    beerbongs and bentleys is a demonstration of how "flexing" beats talent on the charts, but he does show his incredible songwriting abilities on certain songs sprinkled into the album

    1. Paranoid, a song with Posty talking about how he is Paranoid while showing off soon after 4/10 2. Spoil My Night, good vocals on a catchy beat, Swae Lee's lyrics are really bad tho 7/10 3.

    2. Spoil My Night, good vocals on a catchy beat, Swae Lee's lyrics are really bad tho 7/10
    3. Rich & Sad, how can the "Paranoid" Posty think making a song about him being rich is smart 3/10
    4. Zack and Codeine, very catchy song that glorifies doing drugs 8/10
    5. Takin' Shots, its just a filler song 2/10
    6. rockstar ft. 21 Savage, this is one of his best songs and shows his writing talents 9/10
    7. Over Now, a really boring song to sit through 2/10
    8. Psycho ft. Ty Dolla $ign, the typical Post Malone flexing hit song 7/10
    9. Better Now, an emotional song that may just be his best song 10/10
    10. Ball For Me ft. Nicki Minaj, Nicki's verse is great but otherwise its a basic song with a bad beat 7/10
    11. Otherside, filler 1/10
    12. Stay, another filler that tries not to be 1/10
    13. Blame It On Me, boring filler 0/10
    14. Same **** ft. G-Eazy & YG, really catchy but YG hurts the track 8/10
    15. Jonestown (Interlude), its a basic interlude 5/10
    16. 92 Explorer, love the chorus and the song is a good change from the boring second half 9/10
    17. Candy Paint, its a catchy song and nothing more 8/10
    18. Sugar Wraith, the wannabe Candy Paint 3/10

    Standouts are rockstar, Better Now and 92 Explorer

    Overall rating: 5.2 (rounded down to 5) Posty releases the most average album with really good and bad songs mixed together. i expected more from his second album.    … Expand

    This album is more like a playlist rather than a full album. Stoney was much better. Weak lyrics, unconvincing vocals, the only good thing is the production

    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.

    It has some weird production decisions, Post sounds awful at many points during the album, it still has some redeeming features, they're some of Post's best songs to date, Rockstar is one of my top songs from Post Malone, But in the end of the day, the project as a whole was very disappointing.

    This is definitely a huge upgrade from Stoney but, at some points I feel like it's a bit same-ish throughout the entire album. A few of the songs could also have been cut because they are really average or don't add anything to the album and some of it feels a bit generic. It's not a terrible album but it's not fantastic either.

    No segundo álbum de estúdio do rapper a produção segue sendo incrível, não diria que no mesmo nível do álbum de estreia de Malone. Na realidade o que mais me incomoda nesse disco são as letras e a mensagem que ele passa, na maioria delas é sobre luxúria, extremo consumo de dinheiro e claro a vida de um rockstar.

    It's okay. A lot better than Stoney. The second half is so much better than the first half. some songs are amazing some are straight-up garbage. If you would delete the filler, it would be a really strong album. 6,5/10

    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.
