    This album is terrible modern lowest common denominator pop music aimed to expand the toxic "politically correct" philosophy in a dystopian (and pretty digusting) way. The toxic popular worldview that we have now makes albums like this be fakely labeled, by so called "critics", as "good, provocative music", but I'm not biting that **** this is complete garbage musically and culturally

    This music is genuine crap. It's filthy trash designed to shock with little musical design. Lil Nas X's music is mediocre as always.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Se siente como un reciclaje de álbumes de Frank Ocean & Miguel pero siendo demasiado básico y genérico
    Creo que es un intento de rapero y estrella pop pero falló en el intento por que suena como el ruido de una licuadora es desesperante y llega a ser fastidioso todo el tiempo.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Basic and repetitive album. His voice is irritating in some songs. Scoop is frustrating.… Expand

    This is a ridiculous album that tries to achieve fame by trying to be so transparently controversial.

    Although there are some good songs on this album, my faves including "Dead Right Now", "Industry Baby", "Dollar Sign Slime", much of the album feels underwritten or derivative. There are moments where Lil' Nas X dabbles in Pop and Pop Rock which end up sounding like corny kid's music (ex. That's What I Want") or just awfully written (ex. One Of Me). Overall the low points overshadow theAlthough there are some good songs on this album, my faves including "Dead Right Now", "Industry Baby", "Dollar Sign Slime", much of the album feels underwritten or derivative.

    Sobrevalorado!!!! Definitivamente no siento que el álbum sea rap, solo trata de ser extravagante sin ser diferente a otros que quieren llamar la atención.

    A Lot of critics like this one and i am not sure why, i thought it was truly bad, the singing and rapping is dreadful, too satanic and too much like an idiotic mean spirited geek show, lil nas x is not a good rapper not a good singer (i remember andre 3000 and cee lo green, he's not on that league), sorry, the album sucks, get Nas King's disease ii and leave this thing to the dumps.

    He's just obssesed being LGBT queen without focus to make good music. To be fair few songs are good but most of them so bad.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Man this just disappointing & feels like da case where publicity & fan riding taking forefront & actual music & quality takes backseat. Production is downright bad & don't even ask abt vocals on this one. Looks like the rave reviews are just based on his appeal & social media points to get clicks… Expand

    It is the worst album I have ever heard in my life. It does not offer anything new apart from the cover. the songs have very cliché sounds and the album in general is a complete skip. The public has very overrated this artist who does not offer anything good.

    The end result sounds like a distillation of contemporary popular music, the kind of blockbuster pop album following the much larger footsteps of Ariana Grande’s Dangerous Woman or Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream, albeit not as polished.

    Lil Nas X set out to make a crossover pop album with “MONTERO” and succeeded.

    Everything’s he’s done has led to this engaging debut record, a work that allows his inner self to shine.
