May 18, 2022Great Album. Good for Kendrick fans and new fans. Favorite songs are United in Grief. N95.Die Hard. Savior. and Mr Morale. I cant stop listening to it So happy it did not disappoint.
-
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.

May 18, 2022If you think this album ain't great, work on yourself. Because this doesn't sound the way you expected doesn't make it less of a classic.
-
May 18, 2022Well worth the wait. A one of a kind talent showcasing why he is the absolute greatest rapper on the planet right now. His storytelling elevates the art form itself, and this might be my third favorite Kendrick album, he is truly a gift to art and music.
-
May 14, 2022Amazing experience. No dull moments or bars wasted on this project. This album further cemented Kendrick’s place as one of the greatest artists of all time.
-
May 18, 2022Absolute masterpiece, Mother I sober might be the best song Kendrick has done .
-
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 17, 2022One of the most thoughtful and self reflective albums I’ve ever heard. Among Kendrick’s best.
-
May 17, 2022I enjoyed this album a lot. i was very excited for this project and it met my expectations.
Favourite tracks- united in grief, N95, We cry together, auntie diaries and mother I sober -
May 17, 2022Another brilliant masterpiece, what else do you expect from Kendrick Lamar? (Better listening to it over time/a few times as opposed to instant gratification, an album as heavy as this comes with that expectancy).

May 17, 2022This is a masterpiece, definitely the best album for the last 2 - 3 years, for me there's no miss, every song does the job and bring to me that "theatre" experience that I expected it to be, even tho it cannot compare to GKMB or TPAB, but it's still a great piece of artwork to listen to.
-
May 17, 2022RATING: 81%
While not his most consistent, Kendrick Lamar returns with a catchy album with some intelligent lyrics and well-produced beats. -
May 17, 2022It's one of the most albums that I related to from Kendrick and I do enjoy this album more than any album I listened in these past 5 years. One of the greatest rappers of all time and the best of this generation. Ty mr Kendrick Lamar ❤
-
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.

May 16, 2022His most personal project to date. Sonically, lyrically, and conceptually amazing.

May 16, 2022
-
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
-
May 16, 2022Absolutely genius!!! Variations of flows, such a great lyricist and storyteller, this album makes you feel in a big story. Mr morale is very provocative.

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, 2022An album with layers and layers of meaning. This is a seminal album for Hip Hop as a whole, touching on subjects taboo to the culture and the world at large.
-
May 16, 2022one of the best albums of kendrik. the way he talks about sensitive and complex issues. for exmple in Auntie Diaries he talks about lgbt and his personal experience from childhood. I think that album is masterpiece.
thank you again kendrik, for create a album that doesnt afired to touch sensitive subjects. -
May 16, 2022Sonically very different A true work of art that represents internal trauma.
-
May 16, 2022Musically adventurous with a lot of challenging ideas to chew on. Definitely in the same league as his three classic albums from the 2010s.
-
May 16, 2022in love with this album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gousdfgoisfdgdpsofijgposdifgjpodsifgpsdofiguj
-
May 16, 2022Kendrick returns in full form. This album is clearly his most personal, focussing on specific childhood trauma that he experienced then reaching outward to make a statement about trauma in general.
-
May 13, 2022
-
May 16, 2022the best album of the year just by listening to the first second you are amazed

May 16, 2022This album had me confused at first (honestly, it still does) but the more I listen, the more I love it.
-
May 16, 2022Keeps getting better with every listen. The King has returned. Its Kendrick Season, yall!
-
May 16, 2022This is Kendrick’s most personal album yet, he lays it all out from his childhood trauma to his current mental state. He touches on many important topics in really hard hitting ways and it’s so beautiful to see such a massive artist unshackling themselves from preconceived notion’s and being so… human.
-
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 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 16, 2022
-
May 16, 2022So much worth in lyrics, legend that is going to be seen from this day to eternity in a way that all those other legends that never die.
-
May 16, 2022A profound album marked by Kendrick's demystification of himself while addressing personal issues such as fatherhood.
-
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.
-
May 16, 2022Well written and delivered. He keeps you on your toes. Loved the theme of a therapy session. Mother I Sober is the best song on the album in my opinion.
-
May 16, 2022If I'm being honest, the first listen was not what I was expecting and it felt like this album was going to be a flop!!! but after listening to it the third time production level is unmatched. This album feels very very personal and I can genuinely say that this is Kendricks's most mature & vulnerable project to this day.

May 16, 2022Such a great album I would say that this album is better than damn and would rank third in his discography
-
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 16, 2022Will be known as of the decade's best, no doubt. Don't need to say anything else than this, guys, just listen to it.
-
May 16, 2022Amazing messages delivered with great flows and lyrics. Production is top tier. My expectation were very high. this wasn't what i expected, but i'm in no way disappointed. 9.6/10
-
May 16, 2022Amazing storytelling, more than music, it's art. Kendrick has delivered another amazing piece of work that will transcend time.
-
May 16, 2022Album of the year so far. It's hard to judge Kendrick so soon, but so far I'm loving this album. I'm a Weeknd fan, and prefer this overall to Dawn FM, which I think is a great album.
Production is thoughtful and masterful. You can hear in Baby Keem influence even in songs where he is not on vocals. -
May 16, 2022Another masterpiece by Pulitzer prize winner, Kendrick Lamar, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, Kendrick lets us in on the trials and tribulations of his stardom and his human struggles within and leaves us with what’s sure to be remembered as Kendrick's most personal albums.
-
May 16, 2022Nobody can do what Kendrick did. Again. This man is not able to bring out a bad album.
-
May 16, 2022The more I listen, the more I can appreciate the complexity. Definitely gonna be in heavy rotation constantly. So glad I live in a word with Kendrick.
-
May 16, 2022Amazing nomsayn, beautiful subject that had to be talked about, this album is therapy for all of us and for kendrick himself.
-
May 16, 2022
-
May 16, 2022it’s one of the best albums that i've heard in all my life, is simply a masterpiece.
-
May 16, 2022The 5 years that Kendrick disappeared definitely didn’t disappoint, a production and lyrical masterpiece as many protects from this artist, Kendrick is the most important rapper of our generation and this album shows us why.
-
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, 2022Amazing good grate greatest album of all time Ok Amazing good grate greatest album of all time gif and repair work on my
-
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 15, 2022It should not be underestimated of how lucky it is to experience a moment in time, when beautiful art like this graces the earth and is so fresh and new. 10.
-
May 15, 2022
-
May 15, 2022Amazing artwork by Kendrick as usual. After 5 years of absence, Kendrick presented us with a mural of his mind like no other could. From production to lyrics to the themes of each track, be prepared for a beautifully raw therapy session!

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 15, 2022Simplemente hermoso, comprendo que no a todos les parezca el mejor álbum o nisiquiera un buen álbum pero el mensaje, la producción, la escritura, todo está en otro nivel, con cada vez que lo oigo se vuelve aún mejor.
-
May 15, 2022Absolutely fantastic album, tackling many real world issues and getting really serious at times. Kendrick never misses.
-
May 15, 2022Kendrick vuelve despues de 5 años esperando desde DAMN en 2017, un album buenisimo que o rectifica como el rey del genero
-
May 15, 2022Its a perfect album, very diverse, great story telling, sticks to a general theme, sonically beautiful. I have listened to it 13 times before writing a review.
Mother I Sober is a wonderful addition to his discography with the storytelling beauty of Duckworth and Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst -
May 15, 2022Worth the wait, such a complex artist with universal ideas and a pure heart. Genius piece of work from the best artist of his generation.
-
May 15, 2022Kendrick delivers once again with an amazing album that rivals his best work.
-
May 15, 2022
-
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, 2022Tracklist is really solid, album helps to humanize Kendrick in a way never quite seen before. Tackled many touchy/deep subjects in an astounding fashion. As close to perfect as an album can get.
-
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
-
May 15, 2022Como era de esperarse, Kendrick saco un álbum con excelente lirica y producción, las canciones expresan sentimiento por parte de ambos sectores, sin duda uno de los favoritos al AOTY.
-
May 15, 2022Kendrick really mellowed out and this album shows himself changing as he grows up. It’s one of the few albums where I love every single song.
-
May 15, 2022I appreciate the progression on this one. dope album, will take time to see where it stands against his other works.
-
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.
-
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 15, 2022I loved the concept of the album, and how personal it got in the last moments. The only song I didn’t enjoy was Rich Spirit. I think that was more like a filler song and didn’t need to end up in the album.

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]
