    Tyler's latest album remains ambiguous and uncertain, however.

    It’s is no bad thing that Igor downplays Tyler’s indomitable personality – but the writing and execution do not quite replace what has been lost. What’s left is a fine showcase of ingenuity that too rarely burrows very far into your consciousness.

    Things improve markedly when he plays to his strengths with the nuanced narrative of “A Boy Is A Gun”, but ultimately such moments [are] hard to hear over the pitiable “Puppet” and “Earfquake”, functional pop wisely rejected by Justin Bieber and Rihanna. When the narrative sags and his mind seems to wander, it just isn’t enough, no matter how stylish the trimmings. [Aug 2019, p.68]

    This is one of the most exciting albums of recent years. Superb production, interesting and different song structures. Gets better after eachThis is one of the most exciting albums of recent years. Superb production, interesting and different song structures. Gets better after each listen and as a full body of work it flows and tells a story. Very refreshing in an era filled with average music and predictability.… Full Review »

It's not a typical Tyler, the Creator's style, since it's a R&B dominant rather than a rap one. Other than that, it's wacky (in the best way), excitable, and surprisingly addicting. This project shows how prominent Tyler can prove that he can sing.… Full Review »

It’s an album that’s accessible to anyone and Tyler pulls out all the stops here. This is probably his most experimental in my opinion. His lyrics take a back seat to the music in many cases and I feel it lets the listener feel the music more. When I start thinking upon the topics, that’s where I found his lyrics were useful. The album really plays like a movie. The choruses and hooks set the mood perfectly and then the music paints a picture. His lyrics are the story behind the picture and it’s a beautiful one. It’s a solid 8.5-9 album.… Full Review »
