Aug 4, 2018Mac Miller has delivered an impressive, fantastic and amazing album from start to finish. this project is way better than Divine Feminine.
-
Aug 4, 2018Mac has come so far since Blue Side Park, the album that nearly destroyed his career.
This album is the perfect combination of everything he learned from GOOD A:M and Divine Feminine.
And a result of everything he's been through.
Beautiful album near perfect 9/10 imo -

Aug 6, 2018As an avid Mac Miller fan, I am happy to say this is the best work of his career. His skills are sharper than ever on Swimming. From start to finish Mac delivers. His voice, lyricism, and beats come together for a great album.

Aug 8, 2018Dope album from Mac Miller. Well crafted and executed. Great production and intricate lyrics. Very well done
-
Sep 30, 2018Amazing album, it's crazy to see how much Mac grew as an artist from his Mixtape day to this (Swimming), it's a shame Mac had to go right as he was hitting his musical prime but he bowed out with a potential award winning album
-
Nov 15, 2018Amazing work by Mac, this album is truly moving. One of my favorite albums ever. RIP to a legend
-
Jan 21, 2019I never liked Mac's earlier projects. I find it sad that pain brings out the best in artists but this album is beautiful. His death did not have a factor in me enjoying this. It is simply amazing
-
Feb 19, 2019Even with death aside, this album is a masterpiece and important in today's society. The way he tackles on his mental health through music is something that anyone going through the same can appreciate.
-
Jul 19, 2019I dont understand how an album as good as this good a score as low as it did compared to alot of the trash hip-hop/rap albums out there it's pretty disappointing to see that pouring your heart out and focusing on the art of actually putting words together that rhyme to make sense for your listeners wont get you anywhere in this industry these days.
-
May 9, 2020This album means so much to me, it helped me through tough times and is the apex of Mac’s glorious music career. May he rest easy know he has touched the hearts of so many people
-
Apr 12, 2020mac miller always brings life & originality to hip hop/rap. he doesn’t talk about sex & money like all the rappers do. he writes good music, music that has a story, critic & perspective. one of my favorite albums. truly amazing.
-
Oct 19, 2019The magnum opus of Mac Millers career. This album connects emotionally. You can hear his pain, even if he struggles to put it into words.
-
May 6, 2020Arguably the greatest album of the modern musical generation. Swimming captures the tale of Mac's constant struggle with lifes hardships and addictions. The lyrical value of this album is unmatched by that of anything of the modern day. Swimming is a master piece.
-

May 5, 2023Mac miller's magnum opus, this album is so good and has ZERO fluff, all 13 tracks are amazing although I do think circles are better from an emotional standpoint, I do believe this is arguably the album he's waited to make. 10/10
-
May 18, 2023this album have a lot of meaning for the artist, and maybe for the person who listen this album.
-
Aug 4, 2018It's funky, it's laidback, it's groovy, it's introspective. The production is immaculate.
The beats feel so cohesive and yet they still feel like their own songs. Mac comes through with some great songs, pretty decent singing and the rapping we've come to expect. -

Aug 9, 2018Swimming merges enlightening, candid rhymes over funky beats, providing a transparent look at how Mac Miller hit a personal rock bottom and his vigorous climb to save himself.
-
Aug 9, 2018Whether Miller is singing on those funk-inflected highlights, or rapping on them with a flow that's airtight to their irresistible rhythms, he sounds like a would-be chart-topper, not to mention one of the most versatile and accomplished hip-hop artists working today. He also clearly has pop chops to rival those of his former flame.
-
Aug 8, 2018Swimming captures Miller at a creative apex where he's acutely aware of where he's been and where he can go.
