    An extremely cohesive, psychedlic rock album that feels like a blend of Pink Floyd and Thudercat. I thoroughly enjoyed this from start to finish.

    This is a straight up psych rock album that is very good in its own right. Yes, you do a double take when you hear Yachty made it, but you get over that when you listen to it. Its a legit good psych rock album. Good enough that "who made it" means nothing. Highly successful, ecstatic, beautiful piece of art. This is the sound of an artist realizing their potential.

    This is not a drill. Lil Yachty’s Let’s Start Here is a combination of everything we didn’t know we needed. Such a blast!

    I think that this is the best Lil Yachty's project ever made in his career. He just made this album more personal such as Frank Ocean’s album Blonde and Tyler, the Creator’s album Flower Boy. For me personally I think that this is the best album of the year

    esse álbum é uma obra-prima. experimental, devastador e surpreendente à cada faixa. toda vez que ouço é uma sensação diferente.

    Best Yachty album and best pop album of recent times. Love the vibes, not the biggest fan of his vocals but you can't deny the love for the craft here; the album is bursting with ideas with no bad tracks in the mix. Drake should take notes, this is how you switch up on people.

    I've heard yachty since lil boat1, but I DID NOT expect him to drop this kind of experimental, psychedelic rock album. The sound just blows my mind out. I feel proud for yachty for his effort to show people what real art is, and dropping this project    … Expand

    I absolutely loved the album. It's not like any of his other music and it's such a crazy change to go through for an artist. Songs are passionate and keep the listener engaged. You can tell how much pure emotion he has put into each and I can't get enough of it. My favorite songs are: Drive me crazy, Black Seminole, reach the sunshine and failure. Definitely listen to these if you haven't.I absolutely loved the album. It's not like any of his other music and it's such a crazy change to go through for an artist.

    the beats were pretty.

    This album is a new start for Yachty and i can tell the effort he put into this project. But the style of music is simply not for me. I do understand how people enjoy this though.

    Lil Yachty uses his influences to his advantage and was able to reinvent his artistry in an exciting and different way. The album isn't without its flaws as various parts of the record sound really rough not by design but more so mixing issues and some of Lil Yachty's vocals could also improve with time. That still doesn't take away from the almost mind bending experience Yachty offers byLil Yachty uses his influences to his advantage and was able to reinvent his artistry in an exciting and different way.

    Fantastic fantastic fantastic fantastic fantastic. Easily one of if not the greatest rapper transition into rock n' roll of all time. If I were Fantano I'd give it a strong 8.

    Let’s Start Here has a middlebrow sensibility, with plenty of grooves Calvin Harris would approve of. Its best moments come when he unleashes his oddball trill, an evocative sound that bland sentiments like “So surreal, the vibes I feel” can’t quite diminish. [Apr 2023, p.68]

    Let’s Start Here. is exciting at the first listen because the style is new to Lil Yachty himself. Alas, the shiny sheen of new experiences tends to dull over time and with repetition.

    Let's Start Here. is messy, ridiculous, admirable in its ambition and absolutely insane in its execution. If the albums you love are loved because you get tangled in the weeds with them, be absolutely baffled by them and come out wondering what the hell you liked about them, time to go in for another spin to find out? Then, hop up on the ride and keep those damn questions to yourself.
