    Patchy and unfiltered, but charming as all hell, it’s a candid reflection of its creator.

    Drunk’s a chill listen, but it’s also a restless one.

    It’s an enjoyable, occasionally virtuosic romp, fronted by Thundercat’s smooth soul harmonies, which lend proceedings the lustrous sheen of Earth, Wind & Fire.

    On Drunk, Thundercat aggressively grafts said humour onto his spacy throwback fusion r&b, and the results are mixed.

Colorful and groovy mix of jazz, R&B, electronic, and 80s soft-rock, fantastic rhythm and basslines, and a fun personality, Drunk is an intoxicating mix of some stellar songs like Friend Zone, Tokyo, and Show You the Way (which features yacht rock kings Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins). However as intoxicating and ethereal as this album is, it does wear it's welcome down after the second half, making the album a lot longer than needed. And also making me hate Thundercat's weak falsetto, something that I never wanted to do but dear lord it happened! It also would have helped if Thundercat mixed up the tracklist and added some jams instead of draggy ballads that were leftovers of forgotten B-Sides to 80s singles. It's still a great album overall, but nowhere as good as his past work. Full Review »
