    Very good album and definitely one of my favourite albums. The production on every track is awesome and Denzel's flow makes it even better. Denzel should have more recognition because of this.

    An extremely complete collection of tracks. And from an artist that has surfed the decline of the genres downward turn to show he can out class and outlast the trend and gimmicks of culture that are so prevalent.

    this is hands down my favorite album of all time, with hard-hitting bangers like Percs and Vengeance. it also provides thought-provoking songs like Sirens and Clout Cobain. There was no song on this album that I did not like. This is a must-listen album.

And dark being the nearly trap metal part of this album and it is probably the best part IMO).

    TA13OO is an album made by Denzel Curry and follows him as he raps about loss, life and human condition. In the opening track of this album you realize that you're about to experience something very different from a lot of rap albums out now. The slow melodic sad chorus gives you insight on how Curry's life was and still is a tragedy.

In the opening track of this album you realize that you're about to experience something very different from a lot of rap albums out now. The slow melodic sad chorus gives you insight on how Curry's life was and still is a tragedy. TABOO, Black Balloons, Cash Maniac, and Sumo might be some of the best opening tracks I've ever heard. Even though the first three tracks had a consistent tone of choices and death, then Sumo comes in sounding like a trap banger out of nowhere. Still a very good song. And honestly 75% of songs on this album are classics. That's it. Point blank. The production quality on the tracks is immaculate. It makes the listener feel as though they are in hell. Or the mind of an extremely tortured person that is hell for them. Curry's pen game is on point. He raps some of his best lyrics on this album. Whether it's about drying tears with a dollar bill, or taking more steps in the path that you choose, Denzel always conveys emotions to the listeners accurately and how he wants them to hear it. While nearly all of the tracks are amazing, Curry doesn't balance the tone of the three different parts evenly. As mentioned before the first three tracks being somber and thoughtful, then switching to a trap beat filled sumo doesn't really blend well together. Denzel Curry delivers once again with TA13OO with trap bops and hell filled tracks. And classic after classic on this album but just shy of perfect. This album earns its 9/10.… Expand

    I first heard of Denzel Curry from Ultimate. I thought it was a good song, but never took it seriously, probably because the song was memed to death.

I watched the music video, absolutely loved it, then listened to all of Denzel's discography. I then    I first heard of Denzel Curry from Ultimate.

I then realized that he made Ultimate and was genuinely disappointed that I didn't listen to his music beforehand.
    I immediately fell in love with Ta13oo. Every song in the album is perfect. This is the only album I've ever listened to where I absolutely loved every single song. I go back to this album frequently. While all of Denzel Curry's albums are at least good, and almost all of them are great, Ta13oo is his best album. One problem with that, though, is that he might not be able to make a better album than this, but I feel confident that he will. And even if not, this is still one of the best rap albums ever, at least in my opinion.    … Expand

    As off start of 2020 my favourite album of all time. Only a few weaker moments even though nothing I'd call anything close to bad. Shows a range of styles from more melodic to hard banger. Cements denzel as one of the best of the generation.

    Best songs: Sirens, vengeance, percs and clout Cobain Worst songs: switch it up and mad I got it

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing album divided in 3 acts. Act 1 is light, first two songs are very melodic and they have OutKast vibes. CASH MANIAC has very unique flow, but also it has vibe to it. Then we get to the single, one of the biggest bangers, SUMO. Lyrics in act 1 contain subjects like love which honestly I did not expect from Curry. I was not expecting that type of music, but I liked it and enjoyed it very much. Act 2 is grey, we have couple of bangers, real rap songs, collab with JID and biggest song on the album, CLOUT COBAIN. First song of this act is a continuation of SUMO. Then we get SWITCH IT UP and MAD I GOT IT. Denzel shows his insane talent and word playing in this two bangers, flow is maybe the best in the game. Next track is SIRENS where he talks about politics, president Trump, racism and police brutality. JID gives us very good feature, probably the best feature on the album. CLOUT COBAIN is a single with a very powerful music video. Curry is his own man, he doesn't have a contract with any label. He says that if you sign in to a label you will be treated like a slave, which is true. Shows what does rappers do for fame and money and how that effects their fans. Act 3 is dark side of the album, my favorite. Every song on here is raw and bangs. He has a bar on THE BLACKEST BALOON "Ain't s*** changed since Lil Peep died". Even tho he overdosed and died because of drugs people won't stop using it and were affected by his death couple of days and that's all. PERCS is also a single, another banger, talks about drugs and again his flow is out of this world. VENGEANCE is also one of the biggest bangers, my favorite song on the album, with very strong features. JPEGMAFIA and ZillaKami are just behind JID in my opinion. Denzel and 2 previously mentioned guys showed to us some of top tier flows and bars. Song ends with sweet melody. BLACK METAL TERRORIST is the last track on the album and the worst thing about this track is that it's last track of this amazing album. Another banger.

    Best tracks: SUMO, VENGEANCE, SIRENS, CLOUT COBAIN, PERCS, BLACK BALOONS, TABOO, SWITCH IT UP, BLACK METAL TERRORIST

    This album was insanely diverse, yet it still flowed together flawlessly. It may be hard to think that Cash Maniac and Sumo are connected since the songs sound so different, but they go perfectly together. Cash Maniac is a form of Denzel that wanted the money and fame. Sumo comes right after because it is a form of Denzel that has the money now. The sheer aggression on Percs and BMT isThis album was insanely diverse, yet it still flowed together flawlessly.

The ability to create songs that both sound good and have lyrical content is astounding. The dark story telling on Switch it Up is also nothing to sleep on. It’s the perfect album and easily should’ve been album of the year.… Expand

On the Dark Side, or Act 3 of the album, he has angry, loud, beats and his flow and energy are equal parts angry, meticulous flow, and lyrically sound. His lyrics, no matter the song match the emotion of the song. He chose features like JID, JPEGmafia, and Zillakami. Every artist fits along with Curry on each song, and all of their verses fail to disappoint. They all surprised me. On the song Vengeance with Jpeg and Zilla, the emotion and energy comes across perfectly and all 3 artists match each other. Overall this album is musically amazing and lyrically wonderful. It is an out of body journey every time you listen to this album. I listen to its songs daily, and i would recommend this album to any rap fans, and any fans of good music.… Expand

    His new LP is a sonic assault; holding tight to punk ruthlessness and discipline, drenched in Dirty South origins. [Oct 2018, p.68]

    It’s when he sticks to the highly personal that Curry’s music is devoid of all cliché--the power of his performance, the veracity of his pen, and the color of his wordplay make him an expert at voicing the tribulations of this doomed condition we call being young.
