May 16, 2022Album is just kinda mid. crowns is nothing but Kendrick saying he can't please everyone and we cry together is just a argument over a beat (Edit) I listened to the album again its pretty good ignore the first review except for the part about Crowns and We Cry Together I still believe.
-
May 15, 2022This record is Kendrick's most personal. It delves in the concepts of therapy, toxic relationships, bad parenting, and much more. Kendrick is back and the hiatus was worth it.
-
May 16, 2022experimental, creative and inspirational. In some ways, DAMN. remains top tier, but that doesn't mean that this album is not as good as the previous album
-
May 16, 2022Hearing Kendrick get so personal on this album was a real treat, just getting a deeper dive into his life and he dealt with quite a few heavy topics on this album, however I feel like his soundscape suffered a bit from the focus on his message, songs like Mr. Morale sound like they came straight from Black Panther. Overall great album and probably Kendrick’s 3rd best.
-
Aug 25, 2022I have to say that it was really worth the wait. Kendrick did not disappoint with this album. In this new project we can enjoy a more honest, humble and sensitive rapper, which is something very much needed since nowadays the hip-hop industry is more focused on showing off luxury and numbers. Nice featurings, captivating sounds and creative visuals.
-
May 26, 2022Kendrick’s new album is a personal one which reveals more about his background, the nature of his relationships, and expresses his views in the classic Kendrick flow, set to instrumental masterpieces.
-
Jun 3, 2022Easily one of the best rap albums to come out this year so far. Kendrick definitely delivers on his 5 year drought from the music industry and exceeds my expectations. While this is one of his weaker albums compared to his other masterpieces, it’s definitely an album you want to give a listen to.
-
Oct 2, 2022Kendrick floats on every beat of the album. As I listen to it more and more and dig deeper and deeper into the symbolism and meaning I fall more and more in love with it.
-
Dec 16, 20228.3/10 - Great album coming off of a 5-year hiatus. Wasn't too crazy about it the first listen but after a while it grew on me learning the different sides and what each song has in store. Well, I don't think it's Grammy winning level, this project is something that relates to a lot of people, and many can reflect.
-
Dec 23, 2022This album was a huge step forward from “DAMN”. The emotion Kendrick puts into this album I have not felt since TPAB. There are some commercial flows on the first half of the album but the latter half really pulls it all together. It’s not a perfect album but it’s a good comeback after a long time off. 8.5/10

album mt bom, agora só escrever pra passar dos 75 caracteres. -
Jun 26, 2023Some of the highest highs of Kendrick career but very inconsistent., mother i sober is samidot 2,0 and the heart pt5 is perfect but other songs are just not it
-
Aug 28, 2023A masterclass in personal storytelling. It is anything but an easy listen when it comes to the second disc, but contains a masterful blend of bangers and deep cuts; club songs and tearjerkers, really an underrated masterpiece.

May 13, 2022The highs are high and the lows are low. It's not a 5 star or a perfect album. While it has some of his best work, it also had skippable moments. Wish I liked it more.

May 16, 2022Looks like Kendrick has won over the liberal media bias, because this album isn't a 100. As a matter of fact, it's possibly his worst album. There are good songs on this album, but it's few and far between. It doesn't matter how strong your "message" is if the music is lacking. After all, this is supposed to be music right? Not an audiobook.
-
May 13, 2022Better poetry than music, Kendrick's new album focuses heavily on lyricism, but without the strong melodies of his prior albums.
-
May 16, 2022
-
May 16, 2022Weak begging its first half never really felt like It could choose a theme however last half was really strong with songs like savior Purple Hearts etc
-
May 16, 2022Sonically it’s not like his passed albums I get the deepness of the message but sonically I felt like it wanted to be TPAB 2.0 but I have this album second to last of his catalogue
-
Jun 19, 2022My first ever Kendrick's album and I didn't get it.
Maybe need to return to it later. -
Aug 6, 2022The album differs from what I was expecting but has a deep meaning. In my opinion, not a perfect ten, but it was good enough for a 7.
-
Nov 15, 2022This is a good one. Not his best and I genuinely think that he's getting a little bit repetitive but, overall, he's one of the greats, the best since 2014-2015. Some songs are really boring, I have to admit. Some others are already classics. Decent 7/10 for me.
-
Dec 27, 2022While it is certainly weaker than his previous works, Mr Morale fails to disspaoint, with a thougtful concept and brilliant songwriting. Kendrick continues to assert himself as one of the greatest rap artists of all time.
-
May 17, 2022I'm not a fan of rap music at all, but this is definitely one of the better ones I've heard. Even though they sell like the songs sounds different, they all sound EXACTLY The same. But the lyrics aren't bad.

May 13, 2022Overall very underwhelming. Less cohesiveness, edge, and impressive lyricism than past works. The album feels uninspired and captures themes like stress, anxiety, and depression much more literally and less creatively than on DAMN (namely on FEEL and FEAR). It was perhaps too much to hope for a fourth straight classic, but I didn’t think Mr. Morale would fall below Section.80.
-

-
May 13, 2022This is a good album, but it is much less than I expected. If you're a real fan, you'll understand me. It's not even in the top 5 Kendrick's album.
-
May 14, 2022In my opinion this is a good album, but a bad Kendrick-album. Its a huge step-down from his last albums. The lyrics and flows are amazing. But the instrumentals were so boring. Except for a few tracks, I just couldn't really enjoy the album.
-
May 14, 2022Has some great lyrics, both bars and lyrics. Just not an album I really want to vibe to. Just playing while playing video games or on a drive, just doesn’t do it for me.
-
May 17, 2022Maybe something is just off with me, but I would say this is easily the most overrated album ever made. The Off-Season was definitely the best rap album in the last year or two, and while this was decent - this album has nothing on Kendrick's previous works.

Nov 16, 2022Meh. Not what i was expecting. Could be a lot better considering kendrick's ability
-
Aug 12, 2023I have quite mixed impressions. After some relistening I liked it more than dislike it but it is not so good for me as previous albums
-
May 13, 2022Kendrick finally hit a piece of lint in his previously fascinating career spent navel-gazing. Songs here mostly lack structure, drums, flow, cohesion, nuance, power, and energy. Surprisingly mediocre release with big emperor’s new clothes vibes.
-
May 15, 2022I don’t get all these shill critics giving this project a perfect score. I found myself constantly wanting to skip songs on this album. 8 stand out tracks and the rest were middle of the road or worse.
-
Nov 22, 2022can't see why you overrate this artist so much. good rapper but never at 2pac, biggie, Nas, Eminem level
-

May 19, 2022Quite underwhelming, I can always appreciate artists doing their own thing and expressing it in the way they feel comfortable in, but this album falls very flat for me. A lot of the songs sound the same instrumentally and compared to Section 80, Good kid and TPAB this is very very far from his best work. I don't hate the album at all, I just don´t like it. hopefully the next one is great :)
-
May 13, 2022this was disappointing. 5 years and kendrick gave us boring trap-rap. Sounds like scrapped songs off of Baby Keem's "The Melodic Blue". Anyone could've made this album, its dull.
-
May 13, 2022To pimp a butterfly on a Molly comedown.
Full of heart and soul it seems, however none of the heart and soul that existed within him in albums prior. That guy's gone. -
May 13, 2022This album is a bit of a disappointment. No bangers or anthems like past albums. Most songs are sad and depressing but don’t cover any new ground. We Cry Together is by far the worst song I’ve heard in years. There are a few decent tracks here but overall this is Kendrick’s worst album by far.
-
May 14, 2022After a long wait this album felt under-par for Kendrick. Nothing really stuck out to me other than the more sensitive songs but as songs they're unfortunately not that great. Massive Kendrick fan so really let down by this.
-
May 15, 2022To borrow a line from Kendrick. This is doodoo. Nothing has any replay value. I get that it's introspective and and interesting narrative on the surface, like this would make good content for a long form interview with Kendrick, or a biopic, but c'mon man. **** just isn't very good. You can't tell me you want to play this album front to back on your way to work for the next month

Aug 22, 2022He slurs through a weak attempt as compared to different albums this year. Very few hits compared to the negative aspects to be quite honest. One of my greatest artists of all time that could not quite save it this time. Kendrick Lamar will deliver better next time if he puts in the actual complex nature he did as always.

May 13, 2022I listened to the album multiple times and I just was not impressed. It seems like a huge step down from Kendrick's last album. There was a few good songs but way too many skips.
-
May 13, 2022I see what he was trying to do with this album but it was completely off the mark. A lot of topics could of been presented way better and they just weren’t. There were also certain things he shouldn’t have said, no matter why he said them or what point he was trying to get across. It just wasn’t cohesive.
-
May 13, 2022to be kendrick lamar if it's too bad , I am quite disappointed, he raps as if he were speaking, it is not innovative, he focuses more on his lyrics than on his production
-
May 13, 2022I think you should do better ! But obviously you didn’t. I start to wait for the next album.

May 14, 2022Estou completamente extasiado após ouvir o disco, o Kendrick mais uma vez soube inovar e e entregar uma completa obra de arte.
-
May 13, 2022I'm in tears. This is the biggest let down of my my entire life. I can't believe I wasted 5 years of my life anticipating this for nothing.
-
May 13, 2022Sooooo underwhelming oh my GOD.. waited over 5 years for Kendrick’s return and it seems like he hasnt grown a single bit as an artist over the last 5 years. The production is subpar, the rapping is subpar, the features were disappointing, it lacks originality and it doesnt compare to any of his previous work. Easily his worst project.
-
Nov 24, 2022The perfect closer to the Top Dog journey. A perfect mix of sounds from each album.
-
May 13, 2022Maybe my copy was bootlegged, but this album is garbage. Noise, lame lyrics, boring, a million light-years away from Lamar's best work to date, "To Pimp A Butterfly". Not sure what the "experts" are hearing to give this a 100, not even close. The hype definitely driving these ratings, because it can't be the music.
-
May 13, 2022The album is terrible and definitely his worst. Anyone calling it good is d*ckriding.
-
May 13, 2022Homophobic slurs were said. Bad overrated album,, also I won't support anybody who offends the lgbtqia+ community.
-
May 13, 2022Underwhelming. His lyricism is always top tier but the production on this album is monotone and nothing new. I will be listening to it again and I hope it grows on me because as a huge fan of his previous albums, I want to love this.
-
May 13, 2022i don't really like it nearly as much as other albums, some songs like the kodak interludes are either long or just unnecessary and the first half is really bad at times, seconds half's pre good tho but this 0 is just for the first half
-
May 13, 2022i fell asleep in my lesson to this but then woke up to kendrick saying hed dick my dick on we cry together. so then i felt repent to jesus so i gave it a 10
-
May 13, 2022El mejor álbum del mundo, es lo mejor, MOTOMAMI es bueno como este, te enamoras de principio a fin, estos 2 álbumes salvaron el 2022, escuchen la pista 5 la mejor
-
May 14, 2022Trash, the same **** of TPAB kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
-
May 14, 2022Meh. Big Kendrick fan. I understood what he was rapping about and stuff, but wasn’t really feeling this album. I didn’t think it sounded very melodic.
-
May 14, 2022Yall call this music? Dude isn't even rapping on beat
-
May 14, 2022Shiiiiite. Can't understand a word. Sings too fast. Not a candle on classics like jada ding dong and give that wolf a banana.
-
May 16, 2022Obviously, it's only been half a week but this album has lived up to my expectations considering it's been hyped up for a year. 10/10.
-
May 15, 2022Kendrick is uninteresting, fake deep, and preachy. The themes are shallow and more about generating attention than actually saying something profound. The music itself sounds bad and lacks real depth in its message. His shtick is all for promotion.
-
May 15, 2022Mr. Fake Deep got exposed as the fraud he is. Vapid vapid vapid. I cannot wait for him to go back into hiding and not drop music again, hopefully ever.
-
May 16, 20225 years for this???? Trash.
I get that there’s deeper meaning in the lyrics and all that but it’s still music, it still has to sound good, it simply does not sound good. I’m never gonna put this on in the car or with my mates or by myself even, I can’t see a situation in which this album would be played. And to wait 5 years for it? Madness. -
May 18, 2022People are just brainwashed if they think this is anywhere as close as his past albums, only 2 memorable songs, bad sound, and silent hill's chorus is horrendous.
-
Jul 18, 2022kendrick lamar always makes **** albums, all of his albums are equaly **** this is another one of his works
-
Jul 21, 2022I wasn't expecting something like that. When ''The Heart Part 5'' went out i thought some songs might be close to that. There were all type of songs and i like that album a lot. I would wait another 1855 days for that type of album.
-
Aug 22, 2022Imagine mocking the word **** in your album. Did you get rid of lyrics to use? Get a 0 from me
-
Nov 23, 2022Mid album. don't know why you overhype this artist so much. he's a good rapper, nothing more.

Dec 20, 2022this album is actually amazing but I just want Denzel higher, remember that this is so good and near perfect, don't mind the score

Awards & Rankings
-
Jun 20, 2022By far the most compelling persona on Mr Morale & The Big Steppers is the Kendrick who is trying to make sense of his own family. ... ["Mother I Sober" is] a tour de force, almost but not quite as revelatory as "DUCKWORTH", a similar family saga off 2017's DAMN. And the best moment is when the strings swell and Lamar's voice changes. [Aug 2022, p.24]
-
Jun 17, 2022Through over 70 minutes of Lamar’s latest, every facet of life for the young Compton rapper is held up to the light. Love, pain, hope, despair, triumph, defeat, it’s all there. ... He’s a rapper who understands rapping is more than just a good beat, a good punchline, or a good vocal tone. He’s blessed to have all of that but he takes the platform he got from it and makes art that will last a lifetime.
-
The WireJun 15, 2022Introspective, emotionally charged pieces such as “Father Time”, “We Cry Together” and “Savior” provide high – or jarring – points on the record, but elsewhere there are periods of lull absent on previous efforts. ... As sonically impressive as his latest album may be, his approach to the topics under discussion doesn’t feel sufficiently thought out. [Jul 2022, p.48]
