Jan 19, 2020This album created energy I haven't had from music for a while. The rhythm and the lyrics had me vibing out, some songs brought me to a sadness hearing the sadness in his tone. The different and wide variety of music that Mac brought us was something special. From rapping to that soothing singing voice he has. What an artist. Rest in Peace. Your music will forever live on.

Jan 17, 2020It’s a very nice and calming album and a great ending album for Mac Miller’s discography, it’s very chill, atmospheric, and dreamy. better than Swimming
-
Jan 18, 2020Easily his best effort, and even better that it was released on my birthday. I love this guy. R.I.P.

Jan 18, 2020What a great way to close a very promising and emotionally filled career of an artist. Expanding the boundaries of rap music, renovating its sounds and innovative to its core. Maybe his best work if combined with his second to last album "Swimming". One of the best rappers of the 2010s who will be missed. I hope he will be survived by many artists who will continue his so fine kind of rap music.

Jan 18, 2020A beautiful album. It is very emotional considering Mac's life and head space at the time of recording, but doesn't need to rely on it. It's just really damn good. There isn't a single track on it I don't like, and although it continues the departure from Mac's earlier work, it is a very fitting progression. Beautiful.
-
Jan 18, 2020Compelling, captivating and thought-provoking. This album is an inside look into the mind of Mac Miller over a body of work that culminates everything that Mac Miller is in hip-hop. This is a posthumous album done the right way, and a project that Mac Miller himself would be happy to put out. A phenomenal farewell from Malcolm McCormick.

Jan 18, 2020Circles is the most beautiful album by Mac Miller. It's a piece of art. The production is so beautiful and mac should be proud in the heaven.

Jan 18, 2020Intmate, sensitive. Well produce and written. Every word, flow and instruments talks to each other with beautiful harmony and the feeling put by Mac in the music by the way he sing just flavors the music it self. A beautiful goodbye for one of the greatest musician of the last decade.
-
Jan 18, 2020Such an amazing album, swimming was ok but Circles is on another level, this is some of Mac's greatest music ever released.
-
Jan 18, 2020Even after death he gives us good music.this album has beautiful instrumentals that isolate mac and put him like he is talking to you from a place where he found peace
-
Jan 18, 2020Whole album is full of emotions, thoughts and different feelings... Mac's death really gives this album a strange effect. It's really hard to not weep while you listen those songs. After all, Mac perfectly delivered his message to listener and that's the most important thing in this album, he showed his world, showed what's inside his head and heart.
-
Jan 18, 2020Beautiful melodies all across the album, very well thought and put together to honor mac miller's life and career.

Jan 18, 2020This album made me cry a lot, masterpiece. Didn't dislike a single track. R.I.P. Mac
-
Jan 17, 2020it’s amazing, i’m so grateful to get to hear this masterpiece. everybody should listen to it
-
Jan 17, 2020A very emotional conclusion, not only to Swimming as a concept but to Mac as an artist. The album shows a large growth in his singing ability and explores his voice and abilities vocally. The instrumentals are groovy at points, and calm at others, reinforcing the tone of the album, melancholy with an optimistic outlook.

Jan 17, 2020It's good, not insanely new and revolutionary, but it's good. This is not completely a rap album, so you shouldn't expect it to be. It's production is really fresh and atmospheric. The use of strings and synths really portray the mood of the album. The lyrics make it beautiful and depressing knowing that he knew himself well enough and expected the worst from his use of substances.

Jan 17, 2020Tragic genius; an epilogue of a life lived in excess but not without cares or stresses. 11/10

Jan 17, 2020I do not like it when somebody dies but they continue to release album which even NOT GOOD. You guys have to let fans have good memories of the artist.

Jan 17, 2020A little bit plain and boring for my taste. The divine feminine and swimming were better.

Feb 3, 2020Despite the sadness that clearly surrounds this project there is plenty of positivity: the production of the album is impeccable, and the overwhelming message that shines through is of hope for the future.
-
Jan 30, 2020Mac’s sixth studio album is a surreal experience that’s filled with opaque contemplation and tragic connotations. ... Loneliness may be our greatest fear other than death. Mac was able to explicitly re-establish this idea through reflective songwriting and gentle crooning. His genius and thoughtfulness will always be remembered. “Circles” is a stark reminder of that.
-
Jan 21, 2020He finds beauty and peace in allowing himself to experience his own emotions. It’s an honest, matter-of-fact account of the grey areas of his life and mind. On Circles, Mac shows the unexpected joy that can be found in the darkest of times.
