    Metro is great when he makes Metro-type beats, shaky when he ventures outside of his comfort zone. On Heroes & Villains, he surpasses his standard quota of bangers while also taking a few fun risks.

    As a concept album about good and evil, Heroes & Villains mostly delivers. It’s not very ambitious as far as subject matter goes, but the majority of the guests, whose appearances never feel obligatory, at least cursorily touch on the central theme. ... To this end, Metro seems more like an orchestrator or curator. Unlike Khaled, however, Metro aims for a unified sound, and damned if he doesn’t achieve it.

    ‘HEROES & VILLAINS’ bursts with ideas, not all of which land. A record that revels in contradictions, it grasps towards the light while framing itself in darkness.

    Heroes & Villains is entertaining enough as a man’s, man’s, man’s world. It’s better conceptualized and executed than Only Heroes Wear Capes, even if 21 Savage can’t quite match the ASMR pleasures of that album’s “Don’t Come Out the House.”

    Heroes & Villains is the worthy and meticulously assembled sequel to Not All Heroes Wear Capes.

The production is consistently amazing but there are a couple of features that I don't think were all that great, it still doesn't take away from the overall experience. I enjoyed every track. Expand

    Sampling Homelander is really crazy. But still, it didn't make the whole album great and I had quite mixed emotions from song to song

It doesn't experiment as it did on his prior records and is just a compilation of chart seeking potential hits drenched in testosterone and disenchantment Expand
