    When I saw the title of this album, I expected something completely different.. a crappy rap album was what I expected. Instead, what I got was an interesting electronic hip-hop (R&B is a better term for it) album with long instrumental breaks, lyrics that are self-less (When I expand my vocabulary, I promise to come up with better words to describe lyrics) without becomingWhen I saw the title of this album, I expected something completely different.. a crappy rap album was what I expected. Instead, what I got was an interesting electronic hip-hop (R&B is a better term for it) album with long instrumental breaks, lyrics that are self-less (When I expand my vocabulary, I promise to come up with better words to describe lyrics) without becoming self-deprecating and unrelatable. The singer has a voice that sounds childish and young, and it completely contrasts with the surprisingly mature lyrics and interesting "conversations" that it tests the limits of how much every instrument and singer has to blend together. For now, I don't have much to say about this album, but I can say that as of right now, it is in the right place at the right time in my opinion.

    Bundick says the LP was born out of a growing discomfort with fame. If so, he masks it well--listening to its gorgeous, woozy pop is like lying in a Radox bath.

    Immersive and enigmatic, it's the work of a singular talent. [Sep 2017, p.116]

    Boo Boo is fascinating as an exercise for Bear, and proves that Toro Y Moi has yet another viable direction to take their music in. At some point, Bear may need to chart a clear course for the project but for now it’s fun to hear him freely experimenting with new sonic palettes.
