Dec 5, 2018This album was an immaculate masterpiece from start to finish. It is some of Earl Sweatshirt's best work since Doris. this is definitely album of the year. there is not a single track on this project that i did not have problems with or liked at all.
-
Dec 1, 2018masterpice, possibly album of the year. Earl has proved himself to be one this generation's best.
-
Jul 27, 2019Even if this album took 100's of years to make it would be worth the wait. The sound and delivery of this album is so fresh and original. It Feels way longer than its short runtime in, the best way possible, due to great pacing. This album makes me cum every second I listen to it.

Dec 13, 2018This rating system sucks. Why won't it let me give this spectacular album an 11?
-
Dec 5, 2018An incredibly groundbreaking, deeply disturbing, and brief look into the life and feelings of Earl Sweatshirt. I have nothing but great things to say about this masterpiece!
-
Dec 1, 2018This album is a masterpiece. Everything from the beautiful production to the overall MADVILLAINY inspired sound really blew me away. Earl has managed to put together an experimental album that packs and punch and gives listeners an insight into Earl's psyche.
-
Dec 3, 2018Can't get over the feeling like this is an extension of J Dilla's Donuts....I play the whole thing through on repeat like Donuts too and find something new to love about it each time.
-
Dec 3, 2018A collection of songs where Earl somehow manages to only speak when necessary, leaving the listener amazed about how so little could mean so much. Earl produces 9 of the 15 tracks on this possible AOTY candidate and leaves a listener in a daze from how great his rhymes, production and lyricism are. Definitely proving himself to be the best rapper of his generation.

Dec 8, 2018Earl's three year hiatus is broken to deliver this masterpiece "Some Rap Songs". This album incorporates Avant-garde jazz, with each track full of samples. It feels slow, and kind of distant, but with a hopeful feeling. The raw vocals and stripped back lyrics provide a beautiful sonic experience, which not many records can claim to have
-
Dec 8, 2018This album is a modern masterpiece. It is a slightly different sound to Earl’s older music, but it is
definitely a new, accepted style from Earl. -
Dec 8, 2018Earls latest Album, is easily his most experimental and personal. Using unorthodox forms of mixing and sampling (reminds me of madlib) along with earls amazing lyricism this is easily his best and most intresting work to date.

Dec 8, 2018this is amazing, love it or hate it this man is a reincarnation of mf doom, the samples, the bars, damn.
-
Dec 10, 2018This album says everything it needs to say, nothing more. As soon as the last song closes, the listener feels satisfied with the surreal, emotional, and provocative experience that Earl Sweatshirt presents with this album. Three years in the making and I couldn't be happier with the result.

May 21, 2019Masterpiece. Earl yet again delivers the goods in this madvillainy inspired 30 minute, introspective masterpiece of an album. The production is hazy and highly experimental. Earls best work. 10/10 - Modern Masterpiece
-
May 10, 2020Short and grimy, I listen to the whole thing all the time and enjoy more and more each time. The production is spot on, Earls lyrical talent is still very well intact (maybe not as flashy technically as IDLS but still perfect. Amazing record.
Top 5 Songs: Riot!, December 24th, Loosie, The Bends, NoWhere2Go
100/100 -
Oct 4, 2019I actually wanted to give it a 9.5 but since I cannot, I will choose a 10 ha. Ok anyway, this album is hard to get into, just like Danny Brown and others, but you also cannot be ignorant and overlook the depressing and way too let-down flow, beats and lyrics.This is a true masterpiece for sure.
-
Feb 6, 2020Earl's opus quite simply. Mourning the death of his poet father in such a poetic way.
-
Apr 16, 2021A fantastic display of emotion and creativity. Dreadfully sad yet impressive lyricism.

Sep 26, 2021Everything about this album is good. The production, lyrics, everything. Can't say anything bad about it so I guess it's a 10.

Aug 3, 2022I am not happy, This album is absolutely heart wrenching, it’s a absolutely journey but amazing

Apr 2, 2022Lyricism is perfect. Theme is perfect. Production is perfect. Had to grow on me but has definitely grew on me.

Jul 1, 2023so good like omg, Redveil really sucks and Earl Sweatshirt is so good it's crazy
-
Dec 25, 2018Sweatshirt's introspective mood, almost-organic and lo-fi sampling plus different textures in a narrow less 30-minute lenght makes this album good.

Dec 1, 2018Took me few listens to really enjoy this album, but if you give it a chance you will probably enjoy it. Earl tried something new with this album and I think that it's captivating. The beats are the way they are so you focus more on the lyricism over the beats. If you focus on the lyrics you will eventually be all over the album. It's been on repeat since it dropped for me.

Dec 5, 2018This album is beautiful and depressing. I am very addicted to it at the moment.
I love all the unique instrumentals and lyrics. My favourite songs from this album right now are probably Nowhere2go, Eclipse and Ontheway! -
Dec 7, 2018A experience that challenges the listener. Very influenced by underground hip-hop and by the recent events in earl's life, creating great sounds and lyrics.
-
Dec 9, 2018I could see how you don't like this album, but it is a beautiful 25 minutes and something I wasn't expecting from Earl.
-
Jul 13, 2019An extremely experimental, depressive, and emotional album. A very refreshing album compared to other recent projects in the hip hop and rap scene. Earl creates a very short (under 25 minutes) album but maintains the ability to portray his depression, emotions, and losses in his life.
-
Sep 29, 2019One of the best produced albums of entire decade. My only complaint is that the production drowns out the rapping at points making it hard to focus on what he is saying.
-
Dec 22, 2019One of the most depressing and sombre albums I've listened to in a long time.
-
Aug 2, 2020feeling sorry for just listen this now, that is a masterpiece
-
Aug 13, 2021never thought I could hear some much in just 24 minutes. I think this solidifies Earl Sweatshirt place as one of the best lyricists of all time

Dec 4, 2018Lyrics are the best Earl's ever had and though it would sound better cleanly produced, the shaky production fits with the sinking and confused feeling of the album. Themes of family and death make the album emotionally stronger.
-
Nov 24, 2021The project is distinctly rough around the edges, to great effect; there’s the sound of dust popping off vinyl and cassette hiss throughout. ... His uncle and father are gone, but Earl is still here, carrying on their artistic legacy--and, with the help of his collaborators, building his own.
-
Apr 16, 2019Modern Earl Sweatshirt stereotypes are he is strong on lyrics but weak on instrumentals. This album is a huge example of that stereotype. Every song has deep meaning, and you want to find out everything about them. However, the instrumental in songs like Eclipse are disgusting. In my opinion, SRS is Earl's best album, but it is not a perfect experience.
-
Feb 3, 2019Some Rap Songs is Earl Sweatshirt's most emotionally intense and artistically defined project yet.
FAV TRACKS: RED WATER, COLD SUMMERS, NOWHERE2GO, ONTHEWAY!, THE MINT, AZUCAR, VEINS, PLAYING POSSUM, PEANUT
LEAST FAV TRACK: SHATTERED DREAMS -
Mar 29, 2021this album is a 8 this album is a 8 this album is a 8 this album is a 8 this album is a 8

Apr 24, 2021There's very great production on this album, great lyrics but his fan are so retard
-
Mar 3, 2023This album is a masterpiece. Earl made a whole album expressing his feelings in a very original way, one of the best rap albums of the 2010s.
-
Dec 4, 2018Earl talking about depression and the production match the feeling, we can see how the last 3 years has been difficult. The only reason, i give this album a seven instead of a 9 is the mixing of the album. Sometimes the beat takes over his voice and for me it is important to hear Earl because of his lyrics. For the production, we really see a Knxwledge, Madlib influences.
-
Dec 6, 2018Always enjoyed Earl's stuff. I always dig the vibe to it and when he released a single, I was hyped. After I was done listening to it, I enjoyed a lot more than I thought.
-
Aug 17, 2019First exposure to Earl, lacks focus but is a nice listen.
Best Tracks:Red Water,Nowhere2Go,The Bends,Acuzar
Worst Tracks:Cold Summers,The Mint, Loosie -

Dec 5, 2018Anyone that says this album is 'revolutionary' or even good are lying and are sad that they had to wait 3 years for it. I am sorry but it's not risky this album, it's just bad and boring and a total drag to listen to.
-
Dec 1, 2018I'm a huge fan of Earl, but this sounds like a low quality mixtape with just random verses thrown on random sounds and beats. Kind of disappointed that I had to wait 3 years for this.
-
Dec 5, 2018Unfortunately does nothing for me. A competent rap devoid of any genuine courage to push boundaries in his subject matter. Awful
-
Dec 12, 2018This album, in my opinion, does nothing. No good lyrics, no good beats. Come to expect this of him. Will not play this again.
-
Mar 8, 2020this clown has never made a good song in his life let alone a good album wtf do people like about this mumble dick head
-
Apr 4, 2020There Is Nothing I Can Say Great About This Album. Production Is Loud, Distracting, And Irritating, Which Pretty Much Drowns Out The Lyrics. I Feel Like If The Production Was Turned Down A Notch, I Would've Been Able To Hear The Lyrics And Possibly Enjoy The Album. It's Like Listening Too Mumble Rap, But Instead Of Mumbling, We Get Overly Dramatic Samples Of Quiet Rapping. I Am Disappointed.

The WireJan 25, 2019It’s hard to get with the tiresome self-deprecation of that album title, the way he hides his pain behind a smile and hides his smile behind a dope aesthetic on that artfully blurred cover. When Earl does choose to project beyond his navel he has a powerful, booming voice and an ear for novelty. Where his gaze shifts to the outside world he can be inspirational. [Feb 2019, p.56]
-
MojoJan 23, 2019By combining the searing intimacy of a boombox-constructed mixtape with progressive and delirious bars, Earl's third album offers a rare kind of insight, sagacious from a 24-year-old. [Mar 2019, p.80]
-
Dec 20, 2018For all its signs of progression, the record is never heavy-handed with its ambition. Its unforced attempt at making sense of the fraught present, at finding shelter without resorting to convenient escape, is a rare and, dare I say, sincere feat.
